Corona: AGCO/Fendt is restarting the production this week with extensive safety measures

At the tractor and agricultural machinery manufacturer the temporary shutdown assembly lines
are restarting this week at the German AGCO locations Marktoberdorf, Asbach-Bäumenheim,
Waldstetten and Hohenmölsen.
This is possible because important suppliers in Europe and worldwide are now delivering parts
again on schedule and reliably after an interruption of several weeks due to corona. After
intensive discussions between the management, works council, company physicians, health
management and the occupational safety officers numerous measures for the protection of
Fendt employees at the assembly lines, the parts production and in the offices have been
implemented.

Christoph Gröblinghoff, chairman at AGCO/Fendt management: “We are very pleased that the
supply chains are intact again and that our highly motivated Fendt team can get back to work
in a concentrated manner. This week the assembly lines with high daily production rates are
starting again. The changeover of the tractor assembly to a two-shift model is protecting our
employees and it also brings, together with other measures, additional production capacities to
work up the backlog partly or if necessary completely. This enables us to deliver the ordered
Fendt tractors and Fendt Full-Line machines to our customers via the Fendt sales partners as
soon as possible and contribute to securing the food production that is classified as system
relevant.”
