Never before has Fendt’s home plant in Marktoberdorf produced as many tractors as in 2023. Whether this success will continue in 2024 remains an open question. Marktoberdorf is not Fendt’s only tractor plant, but it is the most important. Only the MT tracked tractors are built not in the German Allgäu region, but at the former Challenger plant in Jackson, Minnesota, USA.
The Marktoberdorf plant’s capacity is 25,000 tractors a year. After the 2012 upgrade, Fendt had never before reached this figure. But now the result is record-breaking: in 2023, more than 21,000 tractors were built in Marktoberdorf.
The export share is very high – in 2023 it held steady at the previous year’s level, at around 71%. This means Fendt ships almost 15,000 tractors to markets outside Germany – reports Agrarheute.
