AGCO SISU POWER
A Proud Heritage.
AGCO SISU POWER has its origins
in diesel engine manufacturing
more than 60 years ago in Finland.
By the early 1950s, the company
was building some of the first
direct injection and turbo-
charged diesel engines ever
to be produced.
They rapidly developed a
reputation for quality and
innovation that is just as evident
today. In 1957, the first SISU
diesel-engined tractor was
launched, incorporating some new
features – liquid engine cooling,
direct injection and wet replaceable
cylinder liners, for example – that
are still used in AGCO SISU
POWER engines now.
The company responded to
the market's desire for more
horsepower by developing

ever-larger engines. 1960 saw the
establishment of a tractor plant
in Mogi Das Cruzes, Brazil, but it
wasn't until 1994 that diesel engine
production commenced there.
However, as far back as 1991,
Massey Ferguson took the
decision to start using SISU tractor
engines and the MF 3680 was the
first model to benefit from this new
direction.
In 2004, AGCO acquired SISU
Diesel's engine factories in Finland
and Brazil, since which time it has
invested more than €30 million in
upgrading and refurbishing the
production facilities. AGCO is
currently investing in new SISU
manufacturing capacity in Russia
and China in order to satisfy the
increasing demand for these
exceptional engines.

Today, more than 30,000 engines
are built annually and the business
employs nearly 700 people. It is
estimated that there are more
than half a million SISU engines
providing vital power around
the world.
