“AGCO achieved sales and earnings improvement in the second quarter in the midst of challenging market conditions,” stated Martin Richenhagen, AGCO’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Higher demand and margins in our Europe/Middle East region are driving our improved results and increased outlook for the full year. AGCO’s sales and earnings growth also reflect the benefit of our efforts to reduce expenses, improve the efficiency of our factories and launch new products. While there continues to be a weakness in our key markets, we will remain focused on improving our competitive position and expanding our margins by investing in new technologies, productivity enhancements, and new market development.”

Net sales in AGCO’s Asia/Pacific/Africa region, excluding the negative impact of currency translation, increased 28.6 per cent in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due primarily to increased sales in China and Australia.
