McCormick Tractors International Ltd. is the agricultural machinery company formed in 2000 when Case IH divested assets in order to gain European Union regulatory approval to merge with New Holland Ag.
The initial assets of McCormick bought by ARGO SpA were the Case IH tractor manufacturing plant in Doncaster, England, the rights to the Case IH model C, CX and MX-C and a licence to build MX Maxxum tractors.
In December 2006, ARGO SpA announced that the Doncaster facility was to close with the loss of around 325 jobs.
The statement immediately hit the local news, not only for the job losses, but also because the announcement came a week before Christmas.
