John Deere acquires GUSS Automation
John Deere has announced the full acquisition of GUSS Automation, LLC, a globally recognised leader in supervised high-value crop autonomy, headquartered in Kingsburg, California.
John May, Deere's president of agricultural solutions and chief information officer, said "with this purchase we will consolidate our... leadership in precision agriculture. Monosem has shown innovation and success in precision planting technology that is admired worldwide, and the acquisition of a market leader will allow John Deere to serve more customers worldwide."
Monosem has been family owned by three generations since its foundation in 1948. Deere has no plans to change the independent nature of the business which will continue to operate under its own brands and trademark.
May says acquiring Monosem "will help accelerate John Deere's market reach in precision planting equipment and add engineering expertise in further developing precision planting solutions".
