history
Rostselmasch was founded in Rostov-on-Don on June 21, 1929 . In 1931, the plant produced the first two combine harvesters , which were named Stalinez . The name Stalinez is derived from Josef Stalin , the former dictator of the Soviet Union . In the same year Rostselmasch carried out tests with the new prototypes in the Krasnodar region and compared them with Western manufacturers such as Oliver, Holt and Caterpillar . The tests of the harvesting machines were successful, so that the series production of the combine harvesters with the new designation Stalinez-1 could be started in 1932. Five years later, Rostselmasch presented the Stalinez-1 harvesting machine at the trade and industry exhibition in Paris .
On June 14, 1940, Rostselmasch produced the 50,000. Stalinez-1 .
During the Second World War , Rostselmasch was forced to dismantle its facilities and relocate it to Tashkent , today's capital of Uzbekistan . In Tashkent, the systems were reinstalled and converted to armaments production. On February 14, 1943, the Soviet troops succeeded in recapturing the hometown of Rostselmasch Rostov-on-Don , but the city and the company's factory were completely destroyed during the war. The company rebuilt its facilities in Rostov-on-Don and initially performed maintenance work on tanks, tractors and other vehicles. After the factory was completed, engineers designed a new harvesting machine , the Stalinez-6 . The designers of the new model were awarded the highest civilian award in the Soviet Union, the Stalin Prize , for their outstanding performance .
The production of harvesting machines with the designation Stalinez was continued after the above-mentioned relocation from the front section of the Tula agricultural machinery plant . The Stalinez-2 , Stalinez-3 and Stalinez-4 series were built here until the 1950s . A preserved model of the S4 is in the Agrarmuseum Wandlitz (Barnim Panorama).
In the 1950s, production was gradually switched to combine harvesters. In 1958, the company was given the task of developing and producing an SK-3 self-propelled combine harvester in a short space of time .
In 1962, Rostselmasch began production of the SK-4 model . The model was more powerful than the previous models. This machine was awarded a diploma from the Leipzig Trade Fair in 1963, and in the following year it received awards in Czechoslovakia and Hungary .
In 1969 the millionth and in 1984 the two-millionth combine harvester was produced in the Rostselmasch factory.
In 2007 it became known that Rostselmasch had acquired 80 percent of the ordinary shares of Buhler Industries from Canada . The Rostselmasch company is currently expanding again in the states of the former Soviet Union. At the beginning of February 2010 it became known that Rostselmasch wanted to set up a production site in the Ukraine , in the Donetsk Oblast .
In 2017 RSM Agrartechnik GmbH was founded in Melle , as a German branch of Rostselmasch.
