Description of this McCormick Plaque
McCormick Tractors International Ltd. is the company formed in 2000 when Case IH divested assets in order to obtain European Union regulatory approval to merge with New Holland Ag. McCormick’s initial assets were the Case IH tractor manufacturing plant in Doncaster, England, the rights to the Case IH C, CX, and MX-C models, and a license to build MX Maxxum tractors. Most of the remaining Case IH and New Holland assets became CNH Global. The tractors are named after the McCormick family of Chicago and Virginia.
The Doncaster plant was the headquarters of the McCormick company. The plant had a long history of producing tractors for Case IH and International Harvester and, under its new ownership, continued to produce tractors for Case IH under the terms of a European antitrust agreement.
McCormick Tractors International Ltd was a subsidiary of ARGO SpA until production was moved to the ARGO Tractors plant in Italy and “McCormick” became a trademark only.
In December 2006, ARGO SpA announced that the Doncaster plant would close, resulting in the loss of approximately 325 jobs. This announcement immediately made local headlines, not only because of the job losses, but also because the announcement was made a week before Christmas. All McCormick tractor production was transferred to Fabbrico, Italy. The Fabbrico site had been the main Landini factory and, along with other ARGO Group factories in the region, has since manufactured a joint product line bearing the Landini and McCormick brands.
The last tractor rolled off the Doncaster assembly line in December 2007, an XTX series tractor. KamAZ purchased and transferred the assembly line to assemble a version of the XTX series tractor in Russia.
International sales, technical support, and marketing activities were transferred to the Italian factory, and an independent distributor assumed these responsibilities for Great Britain and Ireland in 2017.
