DULUTH, GA | September 12, 2011 | AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, is pleased to announce Ziegler Ag Equipment, a long-time AGCO-affiliated dealership, has become an exclusive distributor of its Fendt and Gleaner combines throughout its Iowa, Minnesota and northwest Missouri territories. The dealership recently announced the discontinuation of combine distribution relationships with a key AGCO competitor to focus its sales efforts on the company's increasingly popular IDEAL and Gleaner product lines. Such exclusive sales and service relationships with well-established dealerships give AGCO's brands a significant competitive advantage in America's upper Midwest region.
Ziegler Ag Equipment began its combine-exclusive relationship with AGCO on August 3, 2024, but will continue selling parts and servicing competitor combines through December 2025.
"Ziegler Ag Equipment is a very successful AGCO dealership organization, and we're thrilled their harvesting portfolio will be solely focused on AGCO's Fendt and Gleaner combines," said Mike Long, Vice President of Fendt North America. "Ziegler Ag's decision illustrates full confidence in the strength of AGCO's product and distribution strategies, as they see our brands as long-term opportunities for market share growth."
