Strong seasons start now.

Around a year after the launch of the new JAGUAR 1000 series, CLAAS is introducing further innovative functions and features for the 2027 model year. Highlights include the automatic detection and documentation of blade sharpness with CEMOS AUTO KNIFE CONDITION, live yield mapping, active vibration damping for the ejection elbow, and the expansion of the NUTRIMETER measurement range for slurry application. Furthermore, following their presentation at Agritechnica 2025 and a limited pre-production run in the 2026 season, the 16-row ORBIS 12000 and the DIRECT DISC 8400 are now fully available.

CLAAS has officially laid the foundation stone for the construction of the new Finishing Center in Törökszentmiklós. The 7 million euro project comprises a complete reorganisation of the finishing activities as well as the handling of finished products. Together with CLAAS employees and local representatives from business and politics, Thomas Spiering, Chief Operating Officer CLAAS Group, took part in the traditional cornerstone ceremony. A time capsule containing historical documents was anchored in the foundation.

CLAAS has been developing and manufacturing balers for 95 years, 65 of which have been spent in Metz-Woippy. In 1996, the company unveiled its first round baler with a variable bale chamber developed in-house: the VARIANT 100 series. The name VARIANT has endured ever since – now in its fifth generation alongside the CEREX series, which was launched in 2025.

CLAAS is now celebrating the 30th anniversary of its variable round baler product range with two anniversary models and special financing for the 2027 financial and product year.
