ASME Nebraska Section: Tour of CLAAS Farming Equipment Assembly Plant

Description

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the CLAAS North American headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, where hundreds of LEXION combines are assembled each year in the facility in Omaha, NE which is one of the most modern in the marketplace. CLAAS is a family business founded in 1913 and is one of the world's leading manufacturers of agricultural engineering equipment. Omaha is the assembly site for North America’s award winning LEXION combines and home to a team of engineers and CLAAS personnel spearheading header and machine development. The tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours and includes a theater portion as well as a walking-tour of the LEXION combine assembly facility. The plant is located at 8401 South 132nd Street in Omaha. Visitor parking is located on the west side of the facility. Upon arrival, enter through the main entrance and proceed to the information desk, where each visitor will need to sign in and provide a valid photo ID. Our tour guide will meet us at this point. Depending upon the finish time and the wishes of the participants, we may gather at a nearby purveyor of food and beverage for convivial interaction.
