Massey Ferguson has opened a new cab manufacturing factory near its Beauvais facility, to give greater control of cab manufacturing.
“For an investment of €15,5 million, this project allows us to invest for the future in order to maintain our level of competitiveness and productivity and also in the design and quality of our products,” said Richard Markwell, président directeur général AGCO S.A. and vice president and managing director Massey Ferguson EAME.
The factory, called Beauvais 2, produces 80 cabs per day for Massey Ferguson, Challenger, Valtra and Iseki brands. This new cab assembly line can cater for 24 cabs at the one time. At the end of production each cab is tested on a simulator, by an automated process, before being delivered to the nearby tractor assembly operation.

The Beauvais 2 site also doubles as an international sales training centre for Massey Ferguson and the European centre for Massey Ferguson Finance.
AGCO’s Beauvais operation is the largest producer and exporter of farm machinery in France and, together with its GIMA joint venture transmission plant with Claas, it employs around 2,500 people.
