Aerial photo of the Massey Ferguson Tractor Works, Banner
Lane, Tile Hill. The late Harry
Ferguson moved into the premises - which once housed the Standard Motor Car
Company - in 1946. The
Massey Ferguson Company was formed by a merger between Massey Harris and the
Ferguson Company farm machinery manufacturer in 1953, creating the company Massey
Harris Ferguson. However, in 1958 the name was shortened for the first time
to coin the brand Massey Ferguson. Later the company existed only as a brand
name used by AGCO.

July 2012, the landmark Massey Ferguson
Tower, just before demolition. The 2002 closure of Massey Ferguson's Banner
Lane plant ended 56 years of tractor production at the Coventry works. Banner
Lane had grown to become the world's largest factory devoted solely to the production
of tractors. In total, more than three million machines rolled off the production
line 1946-2002.
