A Ascensão e Queda da Massey Ferguson: O Império dos Tratores

The story of Massey Ferguson is one of the most impressive in the global agricultural industry. From a small workshop founded in Canada in 1847 to becoming one of the largest manufacturers of tractors and agricultural machinery on the planet, the brand of the famous red tractor won over farmers in more than fifty countries and came to control almost 20% of the global market. But behind the success lay a silent crisis that would eventually bring the empire to the brink of bankruptcy. In this documentary, you will discover how Daniel Massey built the foundations of the company, the revolution created by Harry Ferguson with the three-point hydraulic system, the historic 1953 merger that gave rise to the modern Massey Ferguson, and the expansion that transformed the company into a giant of global agriculture. We will also see how billions in debt, misguided strategic decisions, the oil crisis, and rising interest rates brought one of the greatest companies of the 20th century to the brink of disappearing. Discover the rise and fall of the so-called Red Empire, the behind-the-scenes story of the company's collapse, the intervention of the Canadian and UK governments, the creation of Varity Corporation, and the acquisition of the brand by AGCO, responsible for keeping alive one of the best-known brands in the agricultural sector.
