» » THIS YEAR MARKS THE
175th anniversary of the
foundation of the business that
has become today’s Case IH.
In 1842, in the US town of
Racine, Wisconsin, where the
worldwide headquarters of the
Case IH agricultural business
remains today, Jerome Increase
Case founded his eponymous
farm equipment company.
Having worked extensively with
farm equipment, Jerome Case
founded his Racine Threshing
Machine Works on the shores
of the Root river. His philosophy
was that every piece of
equipment manufactured by his
company must deliver on the
promise of his brand, and saw
to it personally that this was the
case.
The company’s beginnings
were closely linked with those
of the American economy, as
American pioneers moved
west and new farms were
established there to feed the
growing population centres
of the eastern US. As demand
Case IH Jerome Increase Case
grew for mechanised ways to
help improve other aspects
of agriculture, in 1869 Case
introduced the industry’s first
steam tractor. This initial design
was still horse-drawn, and used
to power other machines, but in
1876 the company built the first
self-propelled steam traction
engine. By 1886 the JI Case
Threshing Machine Company
had grown to become the
world’s largest producer of
steam engines.
