Helmut Claas, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of CLAAS KGaA, initiated the set up of the CLAAS Foundation.
The Foundation wishes to make a contribution to education and knowledge in agriculture. The different activities are intended to show the grand possibilities and perspectives modern agricultural engineering has to offer – we are especially looking at the young potentials, but also the general public.
In May 1998 the Regional Office in Detmold presented the official Deed of Foundation to the CLAAS Foundation. The CLAAS Foundation is the first in the region of Western Westphalia-Lippe with a focus on promoting young people in the area of agriultural engineering.
