Brno manufacturer Zetor Tractors is ending tractor production in Brno after 80 years and moving production to India. The company informed the unions and the labor office of the decision on Friday. The step affects 33 jobs in production. ihned.cz ↗
According to the company's management, production in Europe has become inefficient. The main reasons are long-term rising material prices, as well as energy costs. The move to Asia is meant to allow the company to manufacture at lower costs, with India as the specific target country. Zetor is thus leaving the place with which its brand has been associated since its postwar beginnings. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
The first Czechoslovak Zetor Z 25 tractors rolled off the production line on March 15, 1946. Since then, the brand has become one of the symbols of domestic engineering, and its tractors were also sold on foreign markets. The relocation of production therefore marks the end of an industrial era in Brno. ekonomickydenik.cz ↗
At the same time, according to available information, the company is facing a situation where its sales are growing, but European production remains cost-disadvantageous. Further developments will depend on how quickly the relocation of production to India can be completed and how the change will affect tractor deliveries to European and non-European markets. denik.cz ↗
