Germany · Privately held family-owned group
CLAAS is a privately held, family-owned German group that supplies machinery for field work and crop harvesting. A substantial part of its portfolio serves operations with narrow weather windows, including combine harvesters, self-propelled forage harvesters and grassland equipment. Tractors, balers, loaders and digital tools complement these machines, supporting both day-to-day operation and the documentation of work carried out in the field.
On a farm, harvesting performance depends on the whole system working together: the harvesting machine, the transport fleet and the operation receiving the crop. The CLAAS range is organised around crops and tasks, from grain harvesting with LEXION and TRION combines to forage harvesting with JAGUAR. Engine power alone does not describe harvesting capacity or the quality of the material collected, which also depend on the crop, field conditions and machine set-up.
Size of the business
CLAAS reported group revenue of approximately EUR 4.9 billion in fiscal 2025, which ended on 30 September 2025.
Does CLAAS only manufacture combines?
No. Its offering also includes tractors, forage harvesters, balers, grassland equipment and digital solutions.
What matters beyond engine power when comparing machines?
Capacity in the intended crop, work quality, fuel use under comparable conditions, service support and compatibility with the transport operation.
