A German farm machinery manufacturer with a deep and enduring relationship with Suffolk has died at the age of 94.
Helmut Claas the son of the founder of the CLAAS Group based at Harsewinkel first came to the UK in the late 1940s where farmers at Little Saxham, near Bury St Edmunds became official UK concessionaire for the machinery built by his family firm.
The company said his death on January 5 had come as “a great shock” but it would continue to develop the business as he would have wished.
Helmut’s relationship with the county developed over the years and resulted in CLAAS establishing its landmark UK headquarters off the A14 at Little Saxham and investing millions of pounds there over the years.
