TAFE asserts rightful ownership of the Massey Ferguson brand in India

Since its inception in 1960, TAFE has produced, built, and nurtured the Massey Ferguson brand, offering a wide product portfolio of over 500 models in India on the back of strong indigenous R&D and quality control. With a total annual production of over 180,000 tractors, over 100,000 Massey Ferguson are produced by TAFE in India, with over 3 million satisfied customers in its fold.

TAFE and Massey Ferguson are synonymous in India. TAFE is the second largest producer of tractors in India and the third largest in the world, having established a reputation for itself for its reliability in quality, winning the trust of farmers both in India and over 80 international markets.

TAFE’s products are India-centric in design, distinctly different from AGCO’s products, and ideally suited for small and medium farmers of India and across the world. Ferguson brand as hitherto, it is therefore impermissible for either party to disturb the position as on 29th April 2024, and any attempt to do so will be a violation of the court orders. TAFE has filed a petition against AGCO for disobedience of the orders of the court in a contempt petition in Chennai.
