Bizon was a Polish agricultural machinery brand . Bizon agricultural machinery was offered between 1954 and 2000. The factory in Płock , where Bizon agricultural machinery was manufactured, is the largest combine harvester plant in Central Europe with an area of 91,000 m 2 . It was created in 1939 after the companies Agrar-Industrie-MS Sarna, Margulies and Urbanski merged. In 1945 the company name was changed to Plockie Zaklady Przemyslowe before the factory was renamed Fabbryka-Maszyn Rolniczych in 1948.

From the 1970s, the factory belonged to the state-owned agricultural machinery company Agromet. Outside of Poland, Agromet-Motoimport sold Bizon agricultural machinery. After the reunification, the factory was privatized in 1992, the new factory owner now also appeared under the name Bizon. For 1997 annual sales were $ 40 million and profits were $ 4 million.
