Deere & Company,
founded in 1837
(collectively
called
John Deere), has
grown from a
one-man
blacksmith shop
into a
corporation that
today does
business around
the world and
employs
approximately
52,000 people.
The company
continues to be
guided, as it
has been since
its beginning,
by the core
values exhibited
by its founder:
integrity,
quality,
commitment and
innovation.
John Deere
consists of four
major business
segments
(agricultural
equipment,
commercial &
consumer
equipment,
construction &
forestry and
credit). Those
segments, along
with the support
operations of
parts and power
systems, are
focused on
helping
customers be
more productive
as they help to
improve the
quality of life
for people
around the
world.
