[edit] History

New Holland was founded in 1895 by Mr. Abe Zimmerman in New Holland, PA, USA, and was purchased by the Sperry Corporation in 1947, to form Sperry-New Holland. In 1964, Sperry-New Holland purchased a majority interest in Claeys of Belgium, a builder of combine harvesters. The New Holland company built lawn care equipment until 1974, when that portion of the business was sold to Ariens. The Ford Motor Company purchased New Holland from Sperry, and later sold a share of the Agricultural busines to Fiat, which later purchased the entire company. The deal with Fiat allowed them to use the Ford name till 2000. Ford-New Holland purchased the Versatile tractor company in 1987. In 1998, Ford-New Holland Purchased O&K (Orenstein and Koppel), a construction equipment company. In 1998, O&K in North America was sold to Terex. In 2000, Fiat Ltd. also purchased Case IH and formed CNH Global. In 2008 production of the T series ended at Basildon. And the Engine production line was shut. CNH will now use engines from Italy.

In order to obtain approval for the merger of New Holland with Case IH, the Versatile and Genesis tractor businesses was sold to Buhler Industries Inc. The New Holland Brand is used for the construction equipment line, which is partially based on the Old Ford Construction equipment line up.
