AGCO POWER - Empowering Your Agriculture

AGCO Power is a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of diesel engines for agricultural, construction and industrial applications. The company has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s, when it was founded as Sisu Diesel.

Sisu Diesel was established in 1912 in Finland, and initially focused on the production of diesel engines for marine and stationary applications. The company's founder, Bruno Sivonen, was a pioneer in the development of diesel engines, and his early designs were known for their reliability and efficiency.

In the 1930s, Sisu Diesel began to expand into the agricultural market, developing engines for tractors and other farm machinery. The company's engines quickly gained a reputation for their durability and performance, and Sisu Diesel became a trusted supplier to farmers and agricultural equipment manufacturers around the world.

Production of diesel engines based on own development and design was started in 1946,when small series of 440 and 648 type engines were made mainly for propulsion and power generation applications.

Over the years, Sisu Diesel continued to grow and expand, acquiring several other engine manufacturers and establishing a strong presence in the global market. In the 1960s, the company introduced its first turbocharged diesel engine, which offered improved power and efficiency compared to traditional diesel engines.

In the 1980s, Sisu Diesel began to focus on developing engines that met the increasingly strict emissions standards set by governments around the world.

In 1995, Sisu Diesel was acquired by Valtra, a leading manufacturer of tractors and other agricultural equipment. The acquisition allowed Valtra to expand its product offerings and strengthen its position in the global market.

Under Valtra's ownership, Sisu Diesel continued to innovate and develop new engine technologies. In 2001, the company introduced its first common rail diesel engine, which offered improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared to traditional diesel engines.

In 2004, Sisu Diesel was renamed AGCO Sisu Power, following its acquisition by AGCO Corporation, a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural equipment. The acquisition of AGCO Sisu Power allowed AGCO to expand its product offerings and strengthen its position in the global market. AGCO has meant significant investments in research and development, production systems as well as in facilities and the company has become an organic part of a globally operating corporation.

Under AGCO's ownership, AGCO Sisu Power continued to develop new engine technologies and expand its product offerings. In 2008, the company introduced its first Tier 4 Final compliant engine, which met the strict emissions standards set by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

In 2012, AGCO Sisu Power was renamed AGCO Power, reflecting the company's focus on developing innovative engine technologies and expanding its global presence. Today, AGCO Power is known for its advanced engine designs, cutting-edge technology and commitment to sustainability.

With a focus on quality, reliability and performance, AGCO Power engines are trusted by customers around the world. The company's engines are used in a wide range of applications, from tractors and other agricultural equipment to construction machinery and power generation systems.

In recent years, AGCO Power has continued to innovate and develop new engine technologies, including hybrid and electric powertrains. The company is committed to reducing its environmental impact and helping customers meet their sustainability goals.

Overall, the history of AGCO Power is one of innovation, growth and a commitment to excellence. From its humble beginnings as Sisu Diesel to its position as a global leader in engine design and manufacturing, AGCO Power has remained focused on delivering high-quality, reliable and sustainable solutions to customers around the world.
