CLAAS recently celebrated two critical milestones in their expansion efforts: A ribbon cutting on the permanent location of Canada West Harvest Centre in Emerald Park, just outside of Regina, as well as the opening of an interim location in Saskatoon.
The creation of six global regions for Claas sales and service has brought about management changes at its Omaha offices now that Leif Magnusson, formerly president, has taken charge of three sales regions made up of Claas of America, Claas Argentina and Claas Latin America.
