CNH Industrial receives 2022 Flanders’ Lifetime Achievement Trophy
for its longstanding operations in the region
London, March 23, 2022
CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI) has been
awarded with a ‘Lifetime achievement trophy’ from Flanders
Investment & Trade (FIT), the government agency for
international entrepreneurship in the Flanders region of Belgium.
This trophy recognizes the longstanding commitment and investment
on behalf of foreign companies operating in the region. The awards
ceremony, now in its tenth year, took place on March 22 at the
Technopolis in Mechelen, and was attended by Jan Jambon,
Minister-President of the Government of Flanders.
CNH Industrial has a long history in Flanders,
with significant investments dedicated to its R&D,
manufacturing and commercial operations. The Company’s Zedelgem
site commenced operations in 1906 as a medium-sized local business
producing harvesting equipment and is still located on the street
named after its founder, Leon Claeys. Through the years, the site
has expanded considerably, and is today home to the New Holland
Agriculture, a global agricultural brand of CNH Industrial, Center
of Excellence for Harvesting. The most recent renovations took
place in 2017 to enhance its engineering labs and production lines.
Today the site employs some 2,900 people, of which 400 are
engineers. Continued investments will see the Company integrate new
energy sources and further automation.
“Our facilities in Flanders are key to our
global strategic operations: the Zedelgem plant
currently houses our global R&D Center of Excellence for forage
harvesters, large square balers and combine harvesters. Our
Antwerp plant is crucial in delivering tractor
components to sister sites across the globe,” said Tom Verbaeten,
Chief Supply Chain Officer, CNH Industrial. “We are committed to
further investing in and recruiting for our operations in the
region, which has a unique collaborative ecosystem of universities,
incubators, multinationals and start-ups. Our sites are also
advantageously close to major ports and transport routes, favoring
streamlined logistics, and the efficient transport of our products
to even the most remote markets."
Both the Zedelgem and Antwerp sites engage in
proactive recruitment and currently employ over 4,100 people.
“It is inspiring to see how a major
multinational company such as CNH Industrial has become so closely
embedded in our region, generating mutual growth and creating new
jobs. The fact that CNH Industrial is continuing to invest in
expansion and innovation projects is encouraging and we look
forward to our ongoing collaboration,” said Jan Jambon,
Minister-President of the Government of Flanders.
