Fendt is a distinguished German agricultural machinery manufacturer with a rich history in the industry. The company was established in 1930 by Xaver Fendt in Marktoberdorf, a town located in the Allgäu region of Bavaria, Germany. Over the years, Fendt has built a strong reputation for producing high-quality agricultural equipment, with a particular emphasis on tractors, which have become its flagship product. In addition to tractors, the company manufactures a wide range of agricultural machinery, including combine harvesters, forage harvesters, balers, telescopic handlers, and row crop planters. Fendt's commitment to innovation and engineering excellence has positioned it as a leading brand in the global agricultural machinery market. A significant milestone in the company's history occurred in 1997 when it was acquired by AGCO Corporation, a major player in the agricultural equipment industry. This acquisition allowed Fendt to leverage AGCO's global reach and resources while continuing to maintain its distinct brand identity and focus on quality and innovation.
