Remarkable increase in the sales and production of URSUS tractors and agricultural machinery
In 2015 the tractors manufactured by the Polish producer were a Polish market leader. Last year, the number of registrations of these vehicles increased by 47% in comparison with 2014. This is information that the company gave. This is the biggest growth rate among all brands on our market.
On the market as a whole, there was a fall of 13% in the number of registrations. The data reveal a success of URSUS. In 2015, the company introduced as much as seven new models in just one category.
URSUS management point out the fact that the previous year was the time of large investment, such as sales expansion, designing new models and green Ekovolt buses.
For 2016, the company predicts even greater acquisition and sales of agricultural machinery in the view of the rural development programme for 2014-2012, the budget of which is to reach as much as 13.5 billion euro, and completion of the signed foreign contracts.
In the second half of the previous year URSUS concluded two very significant contracts in Ethiopia and Africa for the delivery of 2.5 thousand agricultural machines valued at about 85 million dollars.
Africa is pleased with the purchase of machinery from the Polish producer, as they are technologically simple, and spare parts for them are not expensive. Thanks to this, in case of a breakdown there is no need for specialists, they can be easily fixed. This is why the Polish machinery leader does not need to fear competition.
In the last nine months the company accrued 214 million PLN, with a half of sales coming from export. URSUS’s net income was 3.3 million PLN. The company produces around 1.2 thousand tractors and a few thousand agricultural machines that are sold in Poland and around the world. The company has currently three production plants and a total employment of over 800 people.
