history
Beginnings and new beginnings after the First World War
The origins of the Claas company go back to a 1887 by Franz Claas sen. founded company for the production of milk centrifuges back. Even before that, Claas was busy with agricultural implements - on his parents' farm. Around 1900 he started developing and manufacturing straw binders and offshoots for mowing machines . Based on mechanical straw binders from Great Britain, he developed his own machine, which he brought onto the market in 1907. As a second mainstay, a contracting company was established that offered grain threshing. In the best years there were 20 to 30 people employed.
On April 8, 1913, the machine fitter and son of the company's founder , August Claas, took over the small company for the manufacture and repair of straw trusses in Clarholz . A year later, on January 12, 1914, he traded with his brothers Bernhard and Franz Claas junior. as "Brothers Claas". After the brothers Bernhard, August, Franz jun. and Theo had returned home healthy from the First World War , in 1919 they acquired a disused hard stone factory in Harsewinkel and relocated the company location there. They produced their straw ties on around 1,000 square meters. In the aftermath of the war, the material they needed was hard to come by, so they mostly reconditioned and further developed used straw ties.
In the meantime, as before the war, Claas managed to sell the straw ties in neighboring countries such as the Netherlands. The Dutch buyer Reensink from Zutphen paid in guilders , which, in contrast to the Reichsmark, proved to be stable and allowed Claas to act. In 1921 August Claas registered his improved "knotter" for straw ties as a patent and thus laid the foundation for the company's product range. Claas was soon able to sell its straw binders in France and Belgium, so that in 1924 the 1,000. Straw binder was produced. But the brothers soon realized that instead of the straw binder, the straw presses were making their way onto the market and from 1931 they produced their own presses.
The harvester-thresher binder
Karl Vormfelde, at that time director of the Agricultural Engineering Institute at the University of Bonn , had long observed the development of combine harvesters in the USA and finally convinced August Claas to develop his own equipment. Vormfelde's assistant, Walter Brenner, switched to the company and from 1930 developed Claas, the first combine harvester for the European market as a front cutter : the grain was cut in front of the tractor , transported around the side of the tractor with a clamp and threshed behind the tractor. However, the first prototype kept getting stuck in the grain, which is why a new attempt was started. Claas and Brenner put together the new prototype from tried and tested machines: They placed a threshing machine in the mower unit between the mower unit and the straw binder. This is how the first European combine harvester was born: " MDB " = Mäh-Thresch-Binder from Claas. In 1936 Claas presented the MDB at Gut Zschernitz and went into series production in 1937. The cost of an MDB was around 4,000 to 5,000 Reichsmarks. In 1939 the 100th machine could be manufactured.
During the Second World War , only 450 machines were allowed to be produced in 1940 and 1941. In 1943, the production of harvesting machines was finally banned completely and production was switched to armaments. Nevertheless, Walter Brenner continued to develop the combine harvester during the war. While the MDB was a cross-flow thresher and other manufacturers relied on longitudinal flow, Brenner combined the systems with the new "Super". The grain was threshed crosswise and shaken out lengthways and cleaned.
First self-propelled combine harvester

On December 15, 1952, August Claas' 65th birthday, the company presented the first self-propelled combine harvester called " Hercules " with a header width of 2.50 meters, which was later fitted with a Claas engine ("LD 40"). The “ Huckepack ” model was developed for smallholders , an implement carrier on which a combine harvester could be mounted. However, its conversion was complicated and the purchase price was too high. Despite two separate drives, the vehicle with a drive motor of 15 HP was too weakly motorized. In the next development step, therefore, only the threshing unit for two small self-propelled machines was adopted: the " Claas Columbus " with a cutting width of 1.80 meters and the " Europa " with a cutting width of 2.10 meters were launched in 1958.
_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1525946.jpg)
In 1966 Claas introduced the "Senator", which had a cutting width of 4.20 m. The panels used for the first time on this model were noticeable, giving the combine a more appealing appearance. These panels were also retained on the successor model “Mercator”, which was equipped with a 3.60 m cutting unit as standard. Over 8,000 machines were sold by the Senator and over 7,000 by the Mercator. From 1967 there was another model called “Consul”, which had a self-supporting body. In comparison to the Senator and Mercator, the engine of this vehicle was located at the front right next to the driver's cab. In 1970 Claas brought the “Compact” onto the market, which was similar to the Consul, but was designed for much smaller farms .
In 1968 Helmut Claas , son of August Claas, succeeded him in the company management. In 1969 Claas took over a factory for forage harvesting machines with Josef Bautz AG in Saulgau . In February 1970, Claas took over the tractor-pulled chopper company founded by Wilhelm Speiser in 1874 and relocated their production to Saulgau. In the same year the Dominator was introduced. It set new standards, because for the first time a hydrostatic drive and a driver's cab were offered as standard . In 1971 Claas developed its first sugar cane harvester .
With the “ Jaguar 60SF” model, Claas presented its first self-propelled forage harvester . 500 units had been produced by the first model change in 1975. In the mid-1980s, Claas developed a cylinder system for the "Dominator" in which the shakers were replaced by rollers that transported the straw to the rear. This later resulted in a separate series called "Commandor".
Claas opened its first combine harvester plant in India in 1992. In Faridabad , special agricultural machines for rice harvest are developed and produced. In 1994 "Agrocom" was created, a company division for information flow in agricultural engineering. In 1995 different versions of the “Crop Tiger” came onto the domestic market in India . Also in 1995, Claas introduced the Lexion large combine harvester with a harvesting capacity of 40 tons of grain per hour . This made it the most powerful combine harvester in the world at the time.
Start of tractor production
The Xerion was the first tractor from Claas in 1997 . In 1999 Claas began working with the US construction and agricultural machinery manufacturer Caterpillar . Claas marketed the “Challenger” crawler tractor developed by Caterpillar in Europe, and in return the Lexion was sold in North America under the CAT brand.
Claas entered the South American continent in 2000 and opened its first sales company in the Argentine province of Santa Fé . As part of the joint venture , Caterpillar and Claas opened a joint combine harvester plant in Omaha , Nebraska, USA in 2001. Just one year later, Claas took over a 50% stake from Caterpillar in the joint venture and the associated combine harvester plant in the USA. The combine harvesters produced there will continue to be sold in North America as "CAT Lexion" through the Caterpillar dealer network. In 2002 Claas took over the Escorts Group's shares in a joint venture in India.
On February 11, 2003, the 400,000 left. Combine the production line at the main plant in Harsewinkel. Based on the first combine harvesters built by Claas, the Lexion was painted in silver. Also in 2003, Claas took over 51% of the shares in the French tractor manufacturer Renault Agriculture and was thus able to offer a complete range of tractors for the first time. In 2004 Cathrina Claas , daughter of Helmut Claas, actively joined the family company.
2005 was developed in cooperation with Kramer , the telescopic loader -series Claas Scorpion . In the Russian Krasnodar began production in the new combine harvester plant. Claas was the first western manufacturer to have its own capacities in Russia . The “Lexion 600” with a header width of up to 12 m, a grain tank volume of 12,000 liters and an area performance of 60 tons per hour was presented at the Agritechnica trade fair . The Lexion 600 was again the most powerful combine on the market.
At the beginning of 2006, Claas increased its stake in Renault Agriculture to 80 percent. In 2007, the second combine harvester plant in India was opened in Morinda near Chandigarh in the state of Punjab . Production in the plant with 300 employees started in October 2008. At Agritechnica 2007, the Claas Tucano was presented as a new mid-range model. The header widths are between 5.40 and 9 meters, the grain tank volume is 9,000 liters and the emptying capacity is 75 liters per second. In 2008 the complete takeover of Renault Agriculture took place.

Harvester
Claas currently offers three types of combine harvesters, which are produced in the main plant in Harsewinkel. The largest model is the Lexion , which has been produced in the fourth generation since 1995. It has a maximum output of 790 hp and is available on the front axle with tires or caterpillars . This means that a top speed of 40 km / h can be achieved. The cutting units are up to 13.79 meters wide and the grain tank holds up to 18,000 liters. In a test in England, the "Lexion 770" model harvested 675 tons of wheat in eight hours, which stood on almost 70 hectares. With an average harvesting capacity of 84.5 tons per hour, this made an entry in the Guinness Book of Records .
The Tucano is considered a mid-range model. It is available with a cutting unit from 5.40 to 9.00 meters and has a grain tank of up to 9,000 liters, which can be emptied at 75 liters per second. The largest models in this series are the "Tucano 470" and "Tucano 480". Both are so-called hybrid machines and have a residual grain separation system with the Roto Plus separator rotor. The Tucano has been in production since 2007. In spring 2013, the 10,000. produced unit delivered.
The Avero belongs to the compact class of combine harvesters and is available in two versions.
| model series | Threshing system | Working width in m | Maximum output in kW (PS) ECE R 120 |
Grain tank content in l |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AVERO 160 | 4 shakers | 4.32 to 6.07 | 116 (158) | 4,200 |
| AVERO 240 | APS + 4 shakers | 4.32 to 6.68 | 151 (205) | 5,600 |
Forage harvester
With the takeover of the agricultural machinery factory founded by Wilhelm Speiser in Göppingen in 1970, Claas was able to expand its product range to include a chopper. As a further development, the Jaguar came onto the market in 1973 . The production of the chopping plants is still located in neighboring Bad Saulgau , while the vehicle assembly takes place in Harsewinkel. In 1984 it achieved a market share of 50% in Europe with a total of 6,800 units. The 30,000 chopper rolled off the production line in 2011. The Jaguar is also the longest-running self-propelled harvesting machine at Claas.

Production sites
Main plant in Harsewinkel
The main plant in Harsewinkel was opened in 1919. Claas produces combine harvesters, forage harvesters and the Xerion system vehicle here. Between 2000 and 2003 it was expanded so that not only finished machines but also individual components for other Claas factories can be produced. The company's administration is also located at the Harsewinkel location.
The machines manufactured in the main plant in Harsewinkel are transported about half by rail and half by truck . The choice of means of transport depends primarily on the destination country. To Western Europe (especially Germany, France , Spain ) the transport takes place predominantly on the road, because there the single wagonload traffic is very thinned out (see. The rehabilitation program MORA C of DB Cargo ) and the number of sidings decreases. Rail transport predominates to the seaports of Bremen and Hamburg as well as to Southeastern and Eastern Europe (especially Poland , Romania and the former CIS states ). In 2007, DB Schenker transported around 6,700 wagon loads with a net weight of 73,000 tons.
The importance of rail traffic is expressed in the fact that a 3.1 kilometer long connecting line was built as early as 1967 , which runs from the Ibbenbüren - Gütersloh line of the Teutoburg Forest Railway (TWE) to its own Harsewinkel-West works station. From Monday to Friday, two pairs of trains are operated by the TWE and there is a service on Saturdays. The rail freight is carried on special wagons that are optimized for the transport of the combine. Nevertheless, it is a question of transports with excess loading gauge , for which the use of certain routes and trains is prescribed, which limits the flexibility and duration of the transport. A further increase in transport volumes is expected to the east. A first test shipment to the People's Republic of China has already taken place, but sea transport is currently even cheaper.
Germany
Paderborn
In 1956, the Paderborn- Mönkeloh branch was opened. Claas manufactures drive technology and hydraulic components for combine harvester production in Harsewinkel on the former airport site. Since 1975 the plant has been called "Claas Industrietechnik" (CIT). In 1960 the hydraulic production was outsourced to Schloß Holte and in 1993 it was reintegrated in Paderborn. Today, the 550 employees not only manufacture the products for their own agricultural machinery, but also for construction machinery and municipal vehicles from other manufacturers.
Bad Saulgau
Since Claas took over Josef Bautz AG in Bad Saulgau in 1969 , agricultural machinery for the green forage harvest has been produced there. Mowers, tedders, rakes and loader wagons are produced here. But the chopping technology for the Jaguar has also been produced here since 1970. The Claas products are transported via the Mengen train station on the Ulm – Sigmaringen railway line .
Hamm
The Claas central spare parts warehouse has been located in Hamm- Uentrop directly on Autobahn 2 since 1999. 135,000 spare parts are located in around 40,000 square meters of storage space. With the logistics partner Kuehne + Nagel , the parts get to the customers.
Dissen in the Teutoburg Forest
Claas E-Systems (CES) has been located at the Dissen site since 2017. Electronic systems for Claas machines and other agricultural applications are developed here. In addition, software solutions are developed for optimal use and application in the field of agriculture. The products include machine terminals, steering and telemetry data systems.
Other locations
The companies Claas Südostbayern GmbH in Töging am Inn , Claas Nordostbayern GmbH & Co KG in Weiden in the Upper Palatinate and Claas Main-Donau GmbH & Co KG in Gollhofen belong to 90 percent and Claas Württemberg GmbH in Langenau to 80 percent of BayWa AG.
In May 2016, Claas announced that the company would part with its foundry. This affects the Gütersloh, Bad Saulgau and Nortorf locations, which together have around 400 employees. It is to be sold to a buyer from the ergocast Guss GmbH environment. The job cuts were not an issue in the contract negotiations. The reasons given for the sale were overcapacities and industry consolidation.
Europe
In addition to the six European production sites, there are also sales companies in Saxham (England), Paris (France), Vercelli (Italy), Spillern (Austria), Buk (Poland), Afumati (Romania), Moscow (Russia), Madrid (Spain) and Kiev (Ukraine).
Metz, France
As early as 1952, August Claas acquired a nine-hectare site in Metz , France , in order to set up a press production facility. Since 1958, a total of over 280,000 presses, such as the "Quadrant" baling press and the "Rollant" and "Variant" roller presses, have been manufactured here. 400 people are employed at the site.
Törökszentmiklós, Hungary
In 1997 Claas acquired a production hall in Törökszentmiklós , Hungary , from a state-owned Mezögep company. This is where cutting units, attachments and attachments for combine harvesters are produced. In 2013 the company opened its own development center, central warehouse and painting line. Every year around 750 freight wagons with cutting units are dispatched by rail, of which around 90 percent go to the main plant in Harsewinkel.
Le Mans, France
The partial takeover of Renault Agriculture in Le Mans, France, since 2003, has enabled Claas to also offer tractors. With the exception of the Xerion large tractor , all tractors are produced here.
Krasnodar, Russia
2005 in the Russian Krasnodar an assembly plant opened with a capacity of 1000 combines a year. 200 units of the Mega could be assembled in the first season. The prefabricated components came from the main plant in Harsewinkel. There is now also a tractor manufacturing plant here. After the completion of an expansion of the plant in 2015, the capacity has more than doubled. Claas is registered as a so-called “national manufacturer” so that the same rules apply to Claas on the Russian market as to Russian manufacturers.
America
Claas has had a sales company in the United States since 1979 and, since 2000, in Sunchales in the province of Santa Fe , Argentina and in Porto Alegre in Brazil.
Omaha, United States
Claas has been producing combine harvesters for the North American market at the Omaha plant in the American state of Nebraska since 1999. The Lexions are given a yellow paint job because they are primarily sold through the Caterpillar sales network.
Asia
In addition to four production sites for combine harvesters, there are sales companies in Beijing , People's Republic of China and Bangkok , Thailand, as well as a storage and logistics center in Bangalore , India .
Faridabad, India
As a joint venture with the Escorts Group , combine harvesters for rice harvest have been produced since 1992. The " Crop Tiger 30 " has been produced here with tires or caterpillars since 1995 . The factory has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Claas since 2002.
Chandigarh, India
In 2008 the second combine harvester plant was opened in India. Claas India produces and develops in Morinda near Chandigarh . The capacity is 900 units per year. The main product is the "Crop Tiger 60", a compact combine harvester for rice harvest.
