Yanmar has announced that it has acquired all shares in Claas India through its group company Yanmar Coromandel Agrisolutions.
The purchase is expected to be completed by the end of September, with a view to accelerating Yanmar’s expansion in India.
“India is one of the world’s top grain producers and represents a crucial market for our agribusiness,” said Kemal Shoshi, president of Yanmar Agribusiness Co., Ltd.
“This acquisition will enable us to offer a wider range of products, significantly enhancing Yanmar’s presence in India. We look forward to leveraging both companies’ strengths to deliver Yanmar’s products to more customers.”
Claas Group CEO Jan-Hendrik Mohr stated: “Claas and Yanmar share numerous common values such as a strong commitment to technical quality, reliable machinery, and building strong relationships with stakeholders, in particular agricultural customers.
“We extend our best wishes to Yanmar for their future endeavors in the Indian agricultural machinery market. CLAAS will continue to stand behind CLAAS machinery and further grow its engineering and sourcing activities in India.”
