AGCO Corporation is a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision farming solutions. Headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, the company markets a diverse portfolio of well-known brands, including Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Challenger, Valtra and GSI, serving farmers and producers in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. Through an extensive dealer network, AGCO provides equipment tailored to a broad range of crop and livestock operations.
The company’s product offerings span tractors, combine harvesters, hay and forage tools, application equipment, seeding and tillage implements, as well as grain storage and protein solutions. AGCO has also invested in digital agriculture through its Fuse® Smart Farming initiative, which integrates data-driven software, precision hardware and analytics to help growers optimize yield and reduce input costs.

Founded in 1990 and publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AGCO), the company has expanded its capabilities through strategic acquisitions. Early growth included the purchase of German tractor maker Fendt in 1997, while more recent transactions have brought Precision Planting in 2017 and the precision agriculture business of Raven Industries in 2021 into the AGCO family. These acquisitions have enhanced AGCO’s innovation pipeline and broadened its reach in precision farming technologies.
AGCO is led by Eric Hansotia, who serves as President and Chief Executive Officer, supported by a seasoned leadership team with deep experience in agricultural equipment and global markets. The company continues to emphasize research and development, sustainable practices and strong customer relationships as it seeks to address the evolving needs of modern agriculture and contribute to global food security.
