Through its various brands, this company has been a major participant in the development of the agricultural and construction equipment industries in Europe and the United States. That is why today Case New Holland (CNH) is able to offer its customers the best technology available in these two sectors. Agricultural equipment is sold under the New Holland Agriculture and Case IH brands and, in the premium segment, Steyr. Construction equipment is sold under the New Holland Construction and Case Construction brands, as well as the kobelco brand in North America. CNH operates globally and is present in around 170 countries through its commercial network of 11,600 dealers and distributors. The company not only provides its customers products of the highest quality that adapt flexibly to individual needs and guarantee the maximum productivity, it also offers comprehensive service support (CNH Parts & Service) and financing solutions tailored to the customer’s profile (CNH Capital). Among CNH’s strong points are continuous product upgrades in the form of quality improvements, enhancements in performance - and, therefore, productivity - and reduced fuel consumption and environmental impacts. In 2009, technical experts and the trade press recognized this commitment, awarding the CNH brands numerous international awards for innovation and technological development. Among the products receiving awards were the New Holland T7070 Auto Command™ tractor, the Case IH Puma CVX tractor and the new joystick control introduced on Case Construction’s wheel loaders.
