The important agricultural machinery markets serviced by CLAAS only started to return to positive territory at the end of 2010. CLAAS used the 2010 financial year to prepare itself for profitable growth with various new products and improved structures and processes. The CLAAS 2010 financial year (balance sheet date 30 September) was characterised by a decline in sales due to the global recession and financial crisis.

CLAAS has set completely new standards in the multi-purpose wagon segment when it introduced the new CARGOS series for the season 2010. Recovery rates are maximized by the innovative new power-saving feeding system known as the EFFICIENT FEEDING SYSTEM (EFS) with a floor conveyor rising 500 mm towards the interior of the wagon. And the platform remains horizontal while loading.

To minimize contamination of the forage, it is important for the mower to optimally adapt to changing ground contours. The tried-and-tested relief function ACTIVE FLOAT is now also available from CLAAS for the front mowers DISCO 3100 FC PROFILE and DISCO 3100 FRC PROFILE.

CLAAS is once again enlarging the range of harvesters for grass and lucerne this year and now offers one of the largest ranges on the market. As a result, CLAAS offers DISCO disc mowers with working widths from 2.10 m - 14.00 m both for small farms with own machinery and for agricultural contractors.

Krasnodar / Moscow;   CLAAS is going to strengthen its activities in the Russian Federation and plans to extend its production site in Krasnodar in the future. As a result, our company has now agreed a contract with the Krasnodar Region to purchase additional plots of land.
