AGCO Corporation recognized and awarded ten partners for their contribution to the company’s business during the 24th edition of the South American Suppliers Meeting. The event was held in Campinas (SP) Brazil on March 3.

During the event, several of AGCO’s global and South American leaders shared insight into the critical role supply chain partners play in delivering high-quality products and services to the farmers who depend on them.

“Farmers rely on AGCO to deliver the high-quality, smart solutions they need to sustainably feed our world. Our supply chain partners play a critical role in helping farmers secure the global food supply and feed our growing population,” said Eric Hansotia, AGCO Chairman, President and CEO.

Tim Millwood, AGCO SVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer, adds, “Our supply chain includes some of the best suppliers in the world. It is imperative that we collaborate with them to ensure continuous innovation and the development of sustainable responses to growing market needs.”

The AGCO team recognized suppliers who achieved 2022 goals, who exceeded expectations of AGCO’s brands, including Fendt, GSI, Massey Ferguson and Valtra, and who operated in alignment with AGCO’s values as an organization.
