CNH Industrial has announced that it has opened a new engineering centre in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company says this facility will support the growth of their Raven precision agriculture technology business.
“Our industries are undergoing a significant tech transformation and CNH Industrial wants to attract a growing talent pool of engineers and digitally-focused professionals that will shape this future,” said Kevin Barr, chief human resources officer, CNH Industrial. “Our new Scottsdale hub will be an attractive, dynamic and innovative workplace where we will accelerate progress in the digital, automation and autonomous spaces.”
In addition to the new Scottsdale location, CNH Industrial also say they intend to invest in the expansion of Raven’s existing Innovation Campus in Baltic, South Dakota, located minutes away from its headquarters in Sioux Falls. These facility upgrades will provide more space and resources for engineering, testing and research. They say these investments in Scottsdale and Baltic will bolster their engineering talent base, support the demand for aftermarket solutions, and further Raven’s technology integration and advancements for the Case IH and New Holland Agriculture brand platforms.
These sites complement CNH Industrial’s current footprint in Arizona, which includes its nearby R&D facility in Casa Grande and proving grounds in Maricopa.
“Our integration with Raven is rapidly accelerating technology delivery to customers. It allows our engineering teams to efficiently go from ‘code to cab’ to develop and deploy new technologies. These sites combined with our existing activities will reinforce our commitment to have engineers work closely with our customers,” said Parag Garg, chief digital officer, CNH Industrial.
