AGCO and SDF enter into partnership to produce tractors

AGCO has signed a supply agreement with Italian company SDF. Starting mid-year, SDF will be responsible for producing tractors with up to 85 hp for the Massey Ferguson brand, with distribution to several global markets, including Brazil.

According to Luis Felli, senior vice president and general manager of Massey Ferguson, the partnership reinforces the brand's strategy, which places the farmer at the center of its operations.

“We are delighted to have a partner like SDF who shares our passion for serving farmers around the world. This partnership strengthens Massey Ferguson’s position in the low- to mid-size tractor segment, providing farmers with high-quality, dependable equipment to boost their productivity and maximize profits,” said Felli.

The new tractor line will be available with a range of powertrain options to meet the specific needs of different markets. AGCO expects the renewal of Massey Ferguson’s portfolio to help it increase its share of the tractor segment up to 85 horsepower.

Alessandro Maritano, SDF’s Chief Commercial Officer, commented on the benefits of the partnership: “This agreement highlights the efficiency of SDF’s vertically integrated production system across all our facilities. It confirms the value of our in-house expertise and know-how in the design and manufacturing of essential components, ensuring excellence and innovation worldwide.”
