history

Corporate development

In 1895, at the age of 26, Abe Zimmerman opened his New Holland Machine Shop in New Holland, Pennsylvania , which repaired agricultural machinery in the early years.

From 1899 the company finally became a manufacturer by building a portable mill .

In the early 1940s, the company made a big impression with a self-developed automated mobile baler .

In 1947 the company was taken over by Sperry Rand Corporation and renamed Sperry New Holland .

In 1958 they began to participate financially in the Belgian company Claeys . At the time, the company was one of the leading manufacturers of combine harvesters in Europe . This stake resulted in its takeover in 1964. At that time, the Claeys business name was changed to Clayson and for many years it was used as a supplement to the New Holland company name on combine harvesters.

In 1975 one of the company's combine harvesters overcame the limitation of threshing capacity due to the overall width and gravity for the first time by turning its patented threshing mechanism by 90 ° and using centrifugal force .

At the end of the 1970s, around 11,000 people were working for the agricultural machinery manufacturer.

1986 the Sperry Corporation was taken over by the Burroughs Corporation . This split off the subsidiary New Holland and sold it to the Ford Motor Company . The latter expanded its product portfolio a year later by purchasing the Canadian agricultural machinery manufacturer Versatile , which was incorporated into New Holland.

In 1991 New Holland was sold to Fiat together with the Fordson- based production of tractors . The takeover agreement allowed Fiat to sell tractors under the Ford brand name until 2000 . In the period that followed, the company grew through further takeovers (in 1998 the Polish combine harvester manufacturer Bizon and the German construction machinery manufacturer Orenstein & Koppel and, in 1999, the Case Corporation ). The result was the Case New Holland agricultural and construction machinery group , almost 90% of which belonged to the Fiat Industrial group . At the end of 2013, Fiat Industrial merged with its subsidiary CNH Global to become CNH Industrial .

Trivia

The current design of New Holland tractors differs in color from that of the combine harvesters (yellow). The reason for this is that the trademarks of three of the predecessor companies were taken into account. The Fiatagri company logo was adopted for today's tractors to represent the terracotta painted former Fiatagri tractors. The color of today's tractors (blue) is in the tradition of the Ford company, the name corresponds to that of the company (New Holland).

As a result of a sponsorship agreement between the parent company Fiat and Juventus Turin, the jerseys of the professional team of the Juventus Turin football club from the 2007/2008 to 2010/2011 season bore the logo of the company New Holland.

On September 26th, 2008, a New Holland combine harvester set a world record. 551.6 t of winter wheat were harvested in eight hours on an area of ​​53.5 ha. At its peak, the 591 hp CR9090 harvested up to 77.3 t per hour.

With the CR10.90, New Holland introduced what was at times the most powerful combine harvester in the world with a 652 hp Cursor engine.
