Massey Ferguson

Massey Ferguson Massey Ferguson was founded by Daniel Messi in 1847, in the city of Newcastle in the Canadian province of Ontario called Newcastle Foundry and Machine Manufactory. The company produced one of the world's first mechanical threshing machines, first by assembling from American parts, but eventually came to designing its own equipment and building assembly lines. Hart Massey, the eldest son of Daniel, renamed the company Massey Manufacturing and relocated him to Toronto in 1879, where he soon became one of the largest urban employers. The 4.4 hectare factory complex, headquartered at 915 King Street West (now part of the Liberty Village area), has become one of the city’s most famous sites. Massey constantly expanded production, increased sales and went international. Thanks to an extensive advertising campaign, he turned the company into one of the most famous brands in Canada. The lack of workers throughout the country also contributed to the growth of the attractiveness of mechanized equipment on the market.

Massey-Harris manufactured and sold threshers and headers, as well as “safe” bicycles, which was introduced in 1898. In 1910, Massey-Harris bought the company Johnston Harvester, located in the city of Batavia, New York, thus becoming one of the first transnational companies in Canada.
