CNH Industrial celebrates 50 years of operations in Nebraska

CNH Industrial N.V. celebrated an important milestone in Nebraska, marking 50 years of operations at its Grand Island plant during an event on July 25. Local dignitaries, including Sen. Curt Friesen of Henderson, Grand Island City Council Leader Linna Dee Donaldson, Grand Island Chamber President Cindy Johnson, and Grand Island Area Economic Development President Dave Taylor, joined hundreds of current and former employees and their families at the plant to honor the legacy of the capital goods manufacturer's agricultural equipment manufacturing facilities.
Built to produce combines for the North American market, the first unit came off the production line at the Grand Island plant in 1965, five months after the groundbreaking. Customer demands quickly required the operations to expand beyond combines to include hay tool equipment. Since opening, the facility has tripled in size from 324,000 sq. ft. to 980,000 sq. ft. today.
The facility operates as one of CNH Industrial's Centers of Excellence, hosting current product design, manufacturing, and testing all in one location. The plant manufactures combines and hay tools, such as self-propelled and pull-type windrowers and bale wagons, for CNH Industrial's Case IH and New Holland Agriculture brands.
Several business units make up the manufacturing area of the Grand Island plant, including fabrication, welding, paint, and assembly.
The plant manufactures three distinct combine harvester model families at the site: the Case IH 140 series, Case IH 240 series, and the New Holland Agriculture CR Twin Rotor® series. Approximately 35 percent of its production is exported to 40 countries around the world.
