CLAAS Group is building a 44,800 sq. ft., research-and-development center on the southwest corner of its existing Sarpy County property near 132nd & Giles Road. The space will be more than 25 percent larger than the temporary off-site shop currently used for research and development. Completion is planned for fall 2026.
Based in Germany, CLAAS manufactures LEXION combines for North American farmers at its Omaha plant. Omaha also serves as the company’s North American headquarters. Since the plant opened in 2001, it has manufactured more than 10,000 combines. The Omaha campus includes a 162,000 sq. ft. manufacturing plant and the recently added CLAAS Training Academy. More than 250 CLAAS employees work on the campus.
