The new Fendt Classic Club International makes Fendt history visible

Gröblinghoff self-critically admitted that the company had not been able to devote enough attention to the topics of Fendt Classic and Fendt History in the past. "With all the demanding tasks of organizing growth and the full line at Fendt, there was too little time and capacity for these historical topics. That is about to change. With the active support of the Fendt management and all company divisions, the Fendt Classic Club International will in future revitalize the Fendt Classic scene and thus take on an important task for the Fendt brand," says Christoph Gröblinghoff.

The important subject areas and fields of action of the Fendt Classic Club International include the establishment and consolidation of an extensive Fendt archive with technical documents, photos, films, publications and drawings, an exciting presentation of Fendt history based on past highlights, cooperation with the existing regional Fendt Clubs and owners of attractive Fendt collections, the organization of Fendt Classic events and participation in Classic events representing the Fendt brand. It is also conceivable that the Fendt Classic Club will become the operator of the future Fendt Museum planned for Marktoberdorf.

"I am pleased that three former and two active Fendt employees have been elected to the first board of the Fendt Classic Club International and will be driving the first activities in the near future. We hope that the Fendt Classic Club will grow and flourish and that many members will actively work on the various topics with a great deal of passion," says Gröblinghoff.

Fendt can look back on over 90 years of very successful company development with numerous highlights. For around 70 years, the Fendt families were responsible for the rise and success of the machine and tractor factory Xaver Fendt & Co, Marktoberdorf. The company founders and main shareholders Dr. Hermann Fendt and Xaver Fendt were respected entrepreneurial personalities who, with a great deal of diligence, courage, fresh ideas and the thriftiness innate in the Allgäu region, successfully built up the Fendt company over decades with ups and downs. They were the ones who established the famous Fendt spirit and the unique Fendt corporate culture together with the Fendt workforce.

Today, Fendt has now been part of the world's third-largest US agricultural technology group, AGCO Corporation, for almost 25 years. A stroke of luck for all involved. Under the leadership of the globally active and ambitious young AGCO Corporation, Fendt has been able to achieve one record after another in all key performance indicators. With the current even stronger integration of the Fendt brand into the AGCO strategy, further dynamic growth of the Fendt brand is inevitable. All in all, the prospects for the coming years are very good.
