Zetor is a Czech company that produces agricultural tractors distributed globally. The initiative to develop a national tractor for Czechoslovakia was established after World War II, leading to the selection of the model 25, with production commencing at the Brno Zbrojovka facility in 1946. By the 1960s, Zetor had begun exporting its products internationally, and it expanded into the North American market in the 1980s. The company underwent privatization in 1993.
