Harvester in the world and Capello heads
It is common practice today to associate the name Capello with the word harvester. In fact, for more than half a century, Capello has been designing and producing grain harvesting machines that are selected by millions of professionals around the world. For this reason, the company has decided to reconstruct the history of a vehicle with which it is closely connected. Wherever maize, wheat, sunflowers, crops of all kinds and feed are to be harvested, Capello is present with its sales network. The book is thus not only a unique encyclopedic work, but also a passionate historical reconstruction combining Capello’s history with that of the harvester.
In this video, Alberto Capello, who is responsible for Capello’s market strategies, describes his point of view for the realization of the « harvester in the world ».
