CNH TO PARTICIPATE IN DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE TRADE
MISSION TO RUSSIA
U.S. SECRETARY OF COMMERCE DON EVANS ANNOUNCED FRIDAY
HE WILL LEAD THE FIRST BUSH ADMINISTRATION TRADE
MISSION. CNH GLOBAL N.V. (NYSE: CNH) PRESIDENT AND
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PAOLO MONFERINO WILL
PARTICIPATE.
For more LAKE FOREST, Ill. (October 10, 2001) - "Through our
information contact: Case IH and New Holland agricultural equipment, CNH is
Jeffrey T. Walsh the largest Western supplier of agricultural machinery
Media Relations to the Commonwealth of Independent States with over
(1) 847 955 3939 12,000 pieces of equipment currently in operation. Both
Case IH and New Holland have worked with farmers in
Russia to increase productivity and profitability and I
am honored to be among those selected for this trade
mission," said Paolo Monferino, CNH president and chief
executive officer.
In the 1990s, the company recognized a mutually
beneficial opportunity in the Russian agricultural
market. Case IH and the Russian government have an
agreement through Declaration of Intent, whereby the
company outlined its strategy to contribute
significantly to the growth of the Russian agricultural
industry. Equipment sales to Russia last year totaled
$46.9 million.
As a result of its joint venture company in Uzbekistan
to assemble cotton pickers, Case IH has grown to be the
largest single Western brand offering a range of
agricultural machinery in Russia and the CIS.
New Holland won its first contract, for 100 combine
harvesters, with Ukraine in 1996 and later exported
combines to Russia, thanks to financing made possible
by the European Export-Import Bank.
At present, tractors and combines are not available in
sufficient quantity to permit the most efficient use of
Russia's vast agricultural resources. This situation is
expected to change substantially as a result of various
CNH partnerships to assemble, distribute and eventually
manufacture agricultural equipment in Russia.
CNH is the number one manufacturer of agricultural
tractors and combines in the world, the third largest
maker of construction

equipment, and has one of the industry's largest
equipment finance operations. Revenues in 2000 were
over $10 billion. Based in the United States, CNH's
network of dealers and distributors operates in over
160 countries. CNH agricultural products are sold under
the Case IH, New Holland and Steyr brands. CNH
construction equipment is sold under the Case,
Fiatallis, Fiat-Hitachi, Link-Belt, New Holland, and
O&K brands.
