Eric Hansotia, Senior Vice President, AGCO has announced that AGCO’s purchase of Precision Planting from The Climate Corporation has closed and has legally been completed.
“At the heart of Precision Planting is an intense focus on solving customers’ farming challenges with innovative, practical solutions and providing industry-leading in-field support. We fully intend to maintain and even grow those capabilities. We will expand the benefits of Precision Planting’s innovation by reaching more growers with a broader global distribution network. AGCO intends to continue growing the OEM customer base and strengthen the large existing account relationships. AGCO will also be expanding the scope of solutions to enhance our equipment across the crop cycle including our Fuse precision farming products and services.
Our strategy is to continue the Premier dealer network model in the market. We will be adding to that base in order to grow globally and continue to strengthen the existing network.
We are working on agreements with The Climate Corporation that will create strong linkage to its digital ag tools for customers and determine how best to enhance Fuse products. Our commitment to our customers that they should be in full control of their data is not changing.
This acquisition will strengthen our position as a full line partner for growers around the world by offering cutting edge technology to improve yields and profitability for our growers,” he said.
