Company history
BEDNAR FMT was founded by Dr Ladislav Bednar in 1997. The Company was first called STROM Export and the basic idea was to export high-quality Czech-made farm machinery abroad. This idea changed quickly. The need to flexibly reflect the knowledge from practical operation and implement user comments into the structural design soon became apparent. At that time it was but a short step to founding a new department of development and production of the Company’s own farm machinery, with a relentless focus on the real needs of farmers all over the world. And since the needs of farmers continuously develop, our motivation and priority goal is to continuously satisfy them.
