McCormick, Landini merge operations in new location

摘要

THE Argo SpA group, a tractor maker and marketer based in San Martino in Rio, Italy, has two well-known brands in the United States: Landini and McCormick. In December, the company announced it would merge the administrative, parts and logistical operations for both brands into a new Atlanta, Ga., facility. Before coming together, each brand had been working in separate locations. Landini USA, which has carved a healthy niche in the orchard and vineyard business across the country, was supported through a facility in Lawrenceville, Ga. McCormick USA was based in Pella, Iowa, where the firm started in a unique relationship with Vermeer Mfg. aimed at giving the fledgling tractor firm a jump-start into the U.S. market.
