History

The start of the CLAAS group took place in 1913, when August Claas developed the company in Clarholz, Germany. In 1919, the business was transferred to Harsewinkel, Germany, where the company focused on the production of reapers. Two years later the company obtained their first patent – for a knotter to efficiently bind straw. In 1930, the first Harvester was developed with the European market in mind with the first Pick-up Baler following in 1934. CLAAS Starts to market the first combine harvester built in Europe in 1936, as opposed to imported machines previously available. they then go on to off trailed trailed combine harvester (reaper-binder) to the European market.
