Massey Ferguson's Beauvais facility in Picardy is home to Massey Ferguson in Europe and produces MF tractors from 75-400hp.

The company reports that a Euro 300 million investment in the plant over the last five years is resulting in much higher manufacturing standards. The tractor plant was recently awarded ISO 9001 Quality Certification, as well as the 'Best in Class' Housekeeping Award from its parent company, AGCO.

"For Massey Ferguson customers, this means ever-increasing reliability and dependability, We are focused on every stage of a tractor's journey to achieve this – from design, engineering and production through to delivery on-farm and lifetime support." says Richard Markwell, vice-president and managing director, Massey Ferguson, Europe/Africa/Middle East.
