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.

Investment Outlook and Business Perspective

Poland remains one of the most attractive investment destinations in the European Union. With GDP exceeding EUR 650 billion, Poland is the sixth largest economy in the EU and the largest in Central and Eastern Europe. The country has maintained positive economic growth for over three decades, including through multiple global crises.

Foreign direct investment in Poland continues to grow, driven by the country’s strategic location, skilled workforce, EU membership, competitive costs, and improving infrastructure. Key sectors attracting investment include manufacturing, technology, business services, logistics, and financial services.

For investors considering entry into the Polish market, proper structuring of the investment vehicle is crucial. The choice between a sp. z o.o. (LLC), S.A. (joint-stock company), branch office, or joint venture depends on the investment size, sector, tax considerations, and long-term strategic objectives. Professional advisory can help optimize the structure from both operational and tax perspectives.
