€40M INVESTMENT IN GREEN HARVEST PLANT

Due to the increased demand for its range of Green Harvest products and to allow for future growth, Claas has announced it is to invest 40 million Euro in its Bad Saulgau, Germany production plant.

Home to the Green Harvest product range, it is where everything from mowers through to the chopping system and crop flow for Jaguar forage harvesters is manufactured.

To accommodate current and future demand, the plant infrastructure is being considerably expanded and upgraded the company says, along with production logistics, assembly optimisation and the energy infrastructure.

Claas say they have seen particularly high demand for the new Orbis maize header, in particular the 900 model, necessitating the need for increased production space to meet this demand.

As a result of this and in view of the global decline in demand for forage wagons, the decision has been made to cease production of the Cargos loader wagon as from the end of the 2022 season.
