CBT

Companhia Brasileira de Tratores (CBT) was a Brazilian tractor manufacturer that operated from 1959 until it shut down in 1995. The company started by importing and assembling Oliver tractors but gradually ramped up local production and component design. By the 1970s, CBT began marketing tractors under its own brand, although they retained a strong connection to their Oliver heritage. Throughout the 1990s, CBT introduced new designs and exported its tractors across the Americas. The company halted production in 1995 due to market reforms in Brazil that removed protections for domestic manufacturers.
