Untrue Statements about brands

Core Brands

The following is untrue about Challenger: "Row crop tractors in the Americas are re-badged Massey Ferguson." Please remove.

Other Brands

The description about AGCO Parts is untrue. AGCO Parts is not part of Sparex Holdings Ltd. Please change it to say: "AGCO Parts operates globally as the genuine parts source for AGCO brands as well as offering parts for competitive equipment."

Partly done: Removed unreferenced material. However, source is not independent, as aforementioned in the other edit reviews above, and "genuine," "as well as offering," and "competitive" give off a somewhat promotional tone. --JustBerry (talk) 06:20, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ideas

[edit]

I believe that AGCO Corp should be updated. They have a new logo, and the tractor displayed is very dated. They also sponsor a NASCAR team today via their Challenger brand.

AGCO Corp TARP, SEC & a Zero Interest Government Loan

[edit]

Move from article, because not in encyclopedic format, references aren't in correct format, nor is it neutral sounding. Please rewrite.

In 2009 the US governments started bailing out the biggest of businesses in order to keep the economy from failing. Just like was done with the largest of the airlines companies in years prior to 2008. AGCO, a Fortune 500, & the worlds largest manufacturer of farm equipment globally was a recipient of money from the TARP bailout. The TARP financing was received through their sole financial partner, the European private bank, Rabobank.

Here is the link naming Rabobank as a recipient:

Here is a link showing Rabobank entered into partnership with AGCO to be their sole financing company.

In August of the same year, 2009, they were awarded a 5Mil grant from the Department of Energy.

Then in September of 2009 AGCO was fined by the SEC for selling farm equipment (through a distribution partner) in violation of the Iraqi oil for food program and received kickbacks. The SEC fine was $5Mil.

Then in October they were awarded by a top economic magazine for having the best overall governance, compliance and ethics.

In 2012 AGCO was awarded a loan, this time from the USDA for $700K, with a term of 10 years with no interest.

COI edit requests

[edit]

Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of AGCO, a client of my employer, Porter Novelli. I'd like to request two edits to the "History" section:

initial requests and feedback
  • Replace
On January 1, 2021, AGCO transitioned to its third chairman in its history with the selection of Eric Hansotia to succeed the retiring Martin Richenhagen after a near 15-year tenure as head of the company.[1]
with
On January 1, 2021, AGCO transitioned to its third chairman in its history with the selection of Eric Hansotia to succeed the retiring Martin Richenhagen after a near 15-year tenure as head of the company.[2] Hansotia has been working for AGCO since 2013 and had become COO of the company in October 2018.[3] In 2021, under Hansotia's leadership, the company navigated rising demand[4] and supply chain disruptions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] AGCO acquired North Dakota-based technology company Appareo Systems in January 2022.[6]
Swapped in an independent source and added more context on Hansotia's background and recent company history.
  • I also think it could be helpful to divide this section into subsections. I propose "1990–1996: Founding and early years", "1997–2005: Major acquisitions and growth", "2006–2020: Martin Richenhagen era", and "2021–present: Eric Hansotia era".

Thanks for your help or feedback! Mary Gaulke (talk) 21:24, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1) The following kind of sounds like something found on a resume... "under Hansotia's leadership, the company navigated rising demand and supply chain disruptions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic". This might border on MOS:PUFFERY. Be careful about using overly-hyped / fluffed / boasting statements & terms on wikipedia. 2) It makes sense to split up the history section into subsections, but maybe these people aren't well-known or famous enough to the general public to have their names be used in subsection names... not sure, look at Apple Inc. where only their last names in one history subsection, but Jobs is a very well known name and Cook is well known in Apple circles. I would bet that many low-level employees don't even know their CEO name. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 08:59, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sbmeirow: Thanks for the feedback! 1) I updated that line:
On January 1, 2021, AGCO transitioned to its third chairman in its history with the selection of Eric Hansotia to succeed the retiring Martin Richenhagen after a near 15-year tenure as head of the company.[1] Hansotia has been working for AGCO since 2013 and had become COO of the company in October 2018.[2] In 2021, the company navigated supply chain disruptions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] AGCO acquired North Dakota-based technology company Appareo Systems in January 2022.[4]
2) I did draw inspiration from other good articles, e.g. Boddingtons Brewery and Playtex. I think it's a meaningful way to break down an organization's history even when the names aren't big names. Alternatively, we could break it out by decade?

[edit]

Hi again – posting here the revised requests negotiated above for ease of review, and adding one more item to the bottom:

1990-1996 history update

[edit]

Hi editors, I noticed that the fourth paragraph of the 1990-1996 history section has a citation needed tag and that it is missing context related to the acquisition of Massey Ferguson. I found a source to eliminate the tag and have some suggestions for adding the additional context around the Massey Ferguson acquisition. I propose changing the current paragraph from:

  • Also in 1993, AGCO purchased the North American distribution rights to Massey Ferguson, a worldwide agricultural equipment company. In 1994, they purchased McConnell Tractors,[1] manufacturer of the large articulated Massey Ferguson tractors. AGCO developed the Agcostar line of articulated tractors. Later in 1994, the Black Machine line of planters was purchased.[citation needed]

To

  • AGCO purchased the North American distribution rights to global agricultural equipment manufacturer Massey Ferguson in 1993 and purchased the company from Varity the following year. The acquisition of England-based Massey Ferguson gave AGCO access to markets in Europe and around the world. At the time, Massey Ferguson had 20 percent of the global market share for tractors.[2] AGCO also purchased McConnell Tractors in 1994,[1] manufacturer of the large articulated Massey Ferguson tractors. AGCO developed the Agcostar line of articulated tractors. Later in 1994, the Black Machine line of planters was purchased.[3]

Bold text==2006-2020 reorganization==

Hi editors, I noticed the first paragraph of the 2006-2020 section has kind of an odd construction given that the heading is about Martin Richenhagen. What would editors think about moving the last sentence of the paragraph to the beginning, like this?

  • In August of 2006, AGCO saw its first change in the position of chairman since its founding with the selection of Martin Richenhagen to succeed Robert Ratliff.[1] 2006 saw a re-focusing of the various brands and subsidiaries, and the reduction of individual brands. AGCO announced plans to combine some, and make some only part of a larger brand, or co-branding. Examples include the Massey Ferguson 9635 Hesston self-propelled swather, and the AGCO 9365 Hesston self-propelled swather. Challenger has seen further expansion with the further consolidation of the AgChem brand into Challenger, and the introduction of Agritalia built tractors and an articulated Challenger tractor.

2021-present request

[edit]

Hi editors, for my next request, I suggest updating the first two sentences of the 2021-present section. I suggest changing them from:

  • On January 1, 2021, AGCO transitioned to its third chairman in its history with the selection of Eric Hansotia to succeed the retiring Martin Richenhagen after a near 15-year tenure as head of the company.[1] Hansotia has been working for AGCO since 2013 and had become COO of the company in October 2018.[2]

To

  • In 2021, AGCO named Eric Hansotia its third chairman, succeeding Richenhagen, who retired after approximately 15 years as head of the company.[3] Hansotia has been working for AGCO since 2013 and became its chief operating officer in October 2018.[4]

2021-present consolidation

[edit]

Hi editors, for my next request I suggest consolidating the several sentences in the 2021-present regarding acquisitions and adding in some additional acquisitions to help make the section more complete.

So I propose changing this:

In 2021, the company navigated supply chain disruptions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] AGCO acquired North Dakota-based technology company Appareo Systems in January 2022.[2]

In August 2021, Precision Planting acquired Headsight, a Bremen, Indiana company specializing in precision agriculture harvesting solutions.[3][4]

In September 2021, AGCO acquired Faromatics (Farm Robotics and Automation), a precision livestock farming business.[5]

In December 2021, Precision Planting announced an agreement to acquire Creative Sites Media, a software and app development company.[6] Also acquired in December 2021 by AGCO was Appareo Systems, a software engineering, hardware development and electronic manufacturing company.[7][8]

In May 2022, AGCO acquired JCA Industries, a Winnipeg, Manitoba based company specializing in autonomous software for agricultural machines, implement controls and electronic system components.[9][10]

In September 2023, AGCO announced it would purchase a $2 billion stake (85%) in Trimble Agriculture to form a joint venture known as PTx Trimble.[11] The deal passed American FTC approval and closed April 1, 2024.[12]

In addition to consolidating the content and adding more acquisitions, this also replaces several sources that are press releases with third-party coverage and updates the citations. Additionally it removes the sentence about navigating supply chain issues, as I am not sure that is an encyclopedic detail; however, if anyone reviewing prefers to keep it that is fine with me. I'd love thoughts and feedback on this. @Sbmeirow: would you have any interest in this request? Cheers AGCO Monaco (talk) 13:56, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
