New Research and Customer Experience Centers Strengthen Nebraska Base

CLAAS continues to strengthen its North American footprint with major investments at its Omaha, Nebraska headquarters. The company broke ground on a new 44,800-square-foot Research and Development Centre in August 2025.

The R&D Centre will be the hub for North American testing and engineering operations, featuring two stories of modern office space, expanded instrumentation areas, and secure facilities for prototype testing and analysis.

The project highlights Claas’ dedication to product innovation and quality improvement for farmers across the continent.

In 2026, CLAAS will expand further with the construction of a Customer Experience Centre on the Omaha campus.

This new facility will serve as a dynamic space to showcase equipment, host training programs, and connect directly with farmers and dealers.

The project includes a renovation of the current showroom and is scheduled for completion by June 2026. 

“The CLAAS FARMPOINT model is built around service, flexibility and farmer convenience,” said Patricio Frangella, head of commercial development at CLAAS FARMPOINT. “We’re excited to show our continued commitment to the Midwest and provide growers with enhanced local expertise and around-the-clock support to keep them running.”

These investments demonstrate CLAAScontinued commitment to U.S. agriculture and its vision to support farmers through innovation, service, and collaboration.
