"If you want to be the leader, you must keep running." We will never forget Helmut Claas, entrepreneur, visionary, family man and passionate farmer. Today, he would have been 98 years old. 🖤 #claas #helmutclaas
Helmut Claas was a wonderful man who I was fortunate to meet on a number of occassions. The words mentioned are a true reflection of the man.
At Agritechnica 2019 I saw Herr Claas walking around one of his tractors, with his stick, looking at detail of the machine and commenting them to a very young guy. Simply Legend.
Although I was tasked to advise him, each meeting with him entailed a lesson for me, as well.
Renault Agriculture / Claas war zum Zeitpunkt der Übernahme mein erstes Unternehmen. Bei dieser Gelegenheit traf ich Herrn Helmut Claas mehrmals während der Ausstellung der Kabelbaum-Verkabelungswerkstatt in Le Mans. Er kam zu mir, weil ich Deutsch sprach. Es war eine Ehre, diesen wunderbaren, aufmerksamen und sehr interessierten Menschen kennengelernt zu haben. Wir werden Dich nicht vergessen, Helmut. Icône de validation par la communauté
Sehr gerne denke ich an meine Gespräche mit Herrn Claas zurück. Ich habe ihn als bescheidenen und dennoch visionären Gründer und Unternehmensleiter kennengelernt. Mein großer Respekt gilt seiner Lebensleistung.
Love Class, my father is a huge fan of Class combine harvesters, and regarded them the best piece of agricultural machinery 👍
OWL Power and Mindest 🙌
A Great Man. I did not get a chance to meet him in person but whatever we heard about him was simply awesome. Salute to Mr. CLAAS
What a legend Mr. Claas was! Volumes have been written about his approach to business with his heart. It set him apart from some others who try to grow business by balancing account books and profit trails. Both types of approach have success stories but while the former category of people like Mr. Claas get their names engraved in hearts of people, it doesn’t take much time for the latter to evaporate after they are gone. Business with a difference!
