Escorts to exit tractor assembly operations in US
This news release, dated April 27, 2010, says Escorts has decided to close its US assembly operations... (2 years after it went into receivership and the assets were sold to Montana Tractors!!!) ... and instead set up distributors that will distribute fully assembled tractors from India. (!!!!)
I wonder if they are truly planning on coming back, and if they would dare to use the Farmtrac name again? They also build and sell under the Escorts and Powertrac names in India, but Farmtrac is the brand used for their global efforts.
