In 1906 Leon Claeys, a Belgian mechanic, started to build threshing machines.[1] In 1909 he built his factory in Zedelgem, Belgium, to manufacture harvesting machines.[2]

In 1952 Claeys produced the first European self-propelled combine harvester[2] and by the 1960s, Claeys was one of the biggest combine manufacturers in Europe;[1] in 1964 the majority of Claeys was acquired by Sperry New Holland. In 1967 the company changed the name in Clayson and in 1986 was merged with the Ford Tractors division.[2] In 1991 Ford Tractors was acquired by FiatAgri and became New Holland and later merged with Case IH to form CNH Global.
