The mergers and buyouts started in the summer of 1984 with the announcement that Tennco (the parent company of J.I.Case at the time) would buy the majority of International Harvester's Ag division and merge it with J.I. Case to form Case International.
In September of 1985, Ford announced that it had bought NewHolland from Sperry Rand, and thus formed Ford NewHolland.
I believe in 1986, Tennco went buying again; this time acquiring Steiger, and merging it into Case IH.
1987 saw Ford NewHolland acquire Versatile and merge it into Ford NewHolland.
In mid-late 1991 an announcement was made that Fiat would acquire 80 % of Ford NewHolland with an option to buy the remaining 20% within 4 years, which they did. In 1994 they merged Ford NewHolland with Fiat Geotech and renamed the conglomorate NewHolland Geotech. The made several other acquisitions around the world throughout the 90's as well.
In mid 1999 the announcement was made that Tennco would sell their share of Case International (something like 71%) to Fiat who then merged it with NewHolland. Thus began Case NewHolland Global...
For what it's worth, most of my parts have been coming in CNH bags and boxes for several years now... Probably 7 or 8 years. It's such a novelty now to get an old box with blue, white and black now and the old Blue Oval. Ya just knows that one's been sitting on the shelf over 20 years....
