Headquartered in St. Nazianz, Wisconsin, U.S., Miller was founded as a hardware retailer in 1899. Miller has expanded through five generations of family management to become a leading innovator of front boom sprayers. One of the most used pieces of equipment on a farm today, sprayers operate through crop fields to distribute fertilizers and pesticides in the form of droplets. Miller’s manufacturing facilities and 260 employees are supported by a worldwide distribution network.
Under the terms of the agreement, CNH Industrial N.V., through its wholly owned subsidiary CNH America, LLC, will acquire Miller’s business in its entirety. The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, with the goal of closing before the end of the year.
