SDF is a multinational group based in Treviglio (Bergamo) in Italy, and is one of the world's leading manufacturers of tractors, harvesting machines, diesel engines and agricultural machinery. The group's products are commercialised under the brand names SAME, Lamborghini Trattori, Hürlimann, Deutz-Fahr, Grégoire and Lamborghini Green Pro. The tractors produced by the group cover a power range from 23 to 440 HP, while its harvesting machines cover a range of powers from 100 to 395 HP.
The history of the group dates back to 1942, with the foundation of the company SAME (Società Accomandita Motori Endotermici) in Treviglio (Bergamo). After buying Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A. in 1973 from its founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, SAME embarked on a strategy of growth through acquisitions.
With its acquisition of Hürlimann in 1979, Hürlimann the company changed its name to SAME-Lamborghini-Hürlimann (S-L-H). In 1995, the group acquired Deutz-Fahr from the German group KHD, changing name definitively to SAME Deutz-Fahr. SAME Deutz-Fahr India was founded in 1996. From 2003 to 2012, SDF was a shareholder in the German group Deutz AG; In 2003, the group acquired 10% of the Finland based company SampoRosenlew, specialised in the production of components and 4 and 5 straw walker combine harvesters. This shareholding was subsequently sold. In 2005, following its acquisition of the Croatia based company Ðuro Ðakovic, the group founded the company Deutz-Fahr Combines, through which it now produces Deutz-Fahr branded components and combine harvesters. In 2008, the Same Deutz-Fahr History Museum was established at the group's main headquarters in Treviglio. In 2011, the group acquired Grégoire A/S, a company specialised in equipment for wine farming, olive oil farming, pruning and for the treatment and harvesting of grapes and olives. Also in 2011, SDF initiated a joint venture in China with Shandong Changlin Machinery. In 2014, the company SAME Deutz-Fahr Traktör Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. was founded in Istanbul, Turkey.
