The regulatory bodies reviewing the merger required some factories to be sold, which included Laverda from Fiat, and McCormick Tractors International from Case IH.[1] 2007 saw ARGO selling 50% of Laverda to AGCO. AGCO bought the remaining 50% of Laverda in late 2010/early 2011, thereby also acquiring Fella-Werke
