Over 130 years of Polish agricultural engineering
URSUS is a brand built on decades of experience, a passion for precision, and a deep understanding of farmers’ needs. From our very first machines to our modern solutions, we have consistently produced equipment you can rely on in any conditions.
A new chapter in history
URSUS has unveiled plans to resume production of a new generation of tractors—tailored to meet the diverse needs of farmers. URSUS’s presence at Agro Show 2025 in Bednary sends a clear signal to the industry: a brand refresh is underway, along with investments and preparations to set up assembly lines for new machines with potential for both growth in the Polish market and expansion beyond the country’s borders.
A Ray of Hope the URSUS plant
The 1.5-millionth URSUS tractor, a model URSUS 1654, rolls off the assembly line. The occasion was marked by the opening of the URSUS History Museum by Deputy Prime Minister Andrzej Lepper.
Milestone

A shared struggle for the future

Production of the C-328 tractor, designed and built on the basis of the C-325, began. By 1967, more than 100,000 units had been produced and released to the market.
A New Beginning for the URSUS Brand
The resumption of production following the end of the armed conflict marked a new beginning for the URSUS brand, which has a bright future ahead of it. The first URSUS tractor since the war was manufactured.
The takeover of the URSUS Works by enemy forces
The factories were officially seized by the Third Reich’s armed forces, and all production was converted to military purposes, specifically the manufacture of military machinery and vehicles.
A tremendous opportunity for growth
The URSUS factory produced a vast number of military vehicles and machinery under contract, including 737 tanks and tankettes, 700 military tractors, over 1,000 URSUS trucks, and Saurer trucks and buses, including wz.29 armored vehicles “URSUS,” approximately 1,500 Sokół 1000 and Sokół 600 motorcycles for the military and about 1,000 for the civilian market, as well as aircraft, stationary, and agricultural engines.
Major changes for agriculture

The founders were Kazimierz Schonfeld, Kazimierz Matecki, Ludwik Rossman, Ludwik Fijałkowski, Stanisław Rostocki, Aleksander Radzikowski, and Karol Strassburger. The initial capital consisted of the dowries of the founders’ seven daughters, commemorated by the P7P trademark.
