History of the company.

In 1832, Johan Theofron Munktell started working in the mechanical workshop "Eskilstuna Mekaniska Werkstad" in Sweden. This is considered the beginning of the industrial history of both Valtra and Volvo Construction.

In 1844, the brothers Jean and Carl Gerhard Bolinder established a machine shop and a foundry on their industrial estate in Kungsholmen (Stockholm). The company was called J&C G Bolinder. Jean had a technical education, and Karl studied at various foundries throughout Sweden. In the 1920s, the government of the young Republic of Finland decided to create its own production of rifles.

In 1926, the territory of Turul on the north-eastern outskirts of Juväskilä was chosen as the most suitable location.

In 1927, SKF, the Swedish ball bearing factory (Svenska Kullagerfabriken) in Gothenburg played a central role in the creation of AB Volvo. As early as 1915, SKF registered the trademark "Volvo" to sell its range of products. The word itself is translated from Latin "kochusia". This name was adopted by a new car company that produced 297 cars in the first year of production.

In 1932, the Munktell and J & Organized by C G Bolinder, the new company is called AB Bolinder-Munktell - BM for short. This merger had a very big impact. The export share reached half of the company's turnover, products were supplied to various countries, including France, Great Britain and the Soviet Union.

In 1950, AB Bolinder-Munktell was acquired by Volvo.

After the end of the Second World War, the weapons plant in Turul was reoriented to the production of civilian products. The first Valmet tractors were assembled at the Tourula factory in 1951. This date is considered the birth date of Valmet and Valtra tractors.

In 1960, the Brazilian government decided to start production of a domestic tractor. Valmet tractors were chosen from all applicants.

In 1969, additional production areas were needed to assemble new series of tractors. A new site was chosen in Suolakhta, where production began in September 1969.

In 1979, Volvo BM made a strategic decision to stop production of tractors and agricultural machinery. Valmet buys the production of Volvo tractors.

In 1991 and 1992, Valmet Oy found itself in a difficult situation. The company was restructured by merging the Brazilian units of Valmet, the engine plant (located in Nokia, Finland) and tractor production with headquarters in Suolahta.

In 1994, Sisu Group was founded to list its shares on the stock exchange. The largest division of Sisu Group is the production of Valmet tractors. The economic problems of Sisu Group ended with the arrival of Partek, which in January 1997 bought out the entire group of companies.

In 2002, Kone Corporation acquired Partek.

In 2004, Valtra joins AGCO Corporation. For the first time in Valtra's history, a company owner works in the same industry and fully understands Valtra's business and needs.
