Untrue Statements about brands

Done Removed unreferenced material. --JustBerry (talk) 06:20, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
Other Brands
The description about AGCO Parts is untrue. AGCO Parts is not part of Sparex Holdings Ltd. Please change it to say: "AGCO Parts operates globally as the genuine parts source for AGCO brands as well as offering parts for competitive equipment."

tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). Source: http://www.agcocorp.com/brands/agco-parts.html
Partly done: Removed unreferenced material. However, source is not independent, as aforementioned in the other edit reviews above, and "genuine," "as well as offering," and "competitive" give off a somewhat promotional tone. --JustBerry (talk) 06:20, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Ideas
[edit]I believe that AGCO Corp should be updated. They have a new logo, and the tractor displayed is very dated. They also sponsor a NASCAR team today via their Challenger brand.
AGCO Corp TARP, SEC & a Zero Interest Government Loan
[edit]Move from article, because not in encyclopedic format, references aren't in correct format, nor is it neutral sounding. Please rewrite.
In 2009 the US governments started bailing out the biggest of businesses in order to keep the economy from failing. Just like was done with the largest of the airlines companies in years prior to 2008. AGCO, a Fortune 500, & the worlds largest manufacturer of farm equipment globally was a recipient of money from the TARP bailout. The TARP financing was received through their sole financial partner, the European private bank, Rabobank.
Here is the link naming Rabobank as a recipient:
Here is a link showing Rabobank entered into partnership with AGCO to be their sole financing company.
In August of the same year, 2009, they were awarded a 5Mil grant from the Department of Energy.
Then in September of 2009 AGCO was fined by the SEC for selling farm equipment (through a distribution partner) in violation of the Iraqi oil for food program and received kickbacks. The SEC fine was $5Mil.
Then in October they were awarded by a top economic magazine for having the best overall governance, compliance and ethics.
In 2012 AGCO was awarded a loan, this time from the USDA for $700K, with a term of 10 years with no interest.

Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of AGCO, a client of my employer, Porter Novelli. I'd like to request two edits to the "History" section:

Revised requests
[edit]Hi again – posting here the revised requests negotiated above for ease of review, and adding one more item to the bottom:
- Replace
- On January 1, 2021, AGCO transitioned to its third chairman in its history with the selection of Eric Hansotia to succeed the retiring Martin Richenhagen after a near 15-year tenure as head of the company.[5]
- with
- On January 1, 2021, AGCO transitioned to its third chairman in its history with the selection of Eric Hansotia to succeed the retiring Martin Richenhagen after a near 15-year tenure as head of the company.[6] Hansotia has been working for AGCO since 2013 and had become COO of the company in October 2018.[7] In 2021, the company navigated supply chain disruptions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] AGCO acquired North Dakota-based technology company Appareo Systems in January 2022.[9]
- Swapped in an independent source and added more context on Hansotia's background and recent company history.
- I also think it could be helpful to divide this section into subsections. I propose "1990–1996: Founding and early years", "1997–2005: Major acquisitions and growth", "2006–2020: Martin Richenhagen era", and "2021–present: Eric Hansotia era".
- I suggest deleting the "Manufacturing Sites" section, per WP:DIRECTORY.
Thank you for your time! Mary Gaulke (talk) 21:35, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
