history

In the late 1940s, Finland's state cannon factory, Valtion Tykkitehtaat, began developing a tractor. In 1951 the name VAL tion MET allitehtaat was renamed Valmet . In 1979 Volvo took over tractor production . In 1994 the Valmet tractor factory was incorporated into the Sisu group . In 1997, Sisu was again merged with the Partek Group and Sisu-Tractors was renamed Valtra Oy . As part of the sale, the right to use the "Valmet" brand for tractors was limited to April 2001, so that from 1997 the double brand "Valtra Valmet" was established under the owner Partek, before the final change of name to Valtra in January 2001. In 2002, Partek was taken over by Kone . Kone in turn sold Valtra to AGCO in 2003.
