Deere Acquires Beit Hashita Metal Industries

Deere Co. (NYSE:DE) has acquired Israeli manufacturer Beit Hashita Metal Industries. Beit Hashita Metal manufactures machinery and agricultural implements for the industry.

The deal was actually closed earlier in the week after a District Court in Nazareth approved of the sale of the assets as part of a settlement with creditors.

The offer for Beit Hashita Metal Industries Ltd. was initially made in December 2009, and was waiting on due diligence before being concluded and formalized.
