Company history

BEDNAR FMT was founded by JUDr. Ing. Ladislav Bednář in 1997. The Company was first called STROM Export and the basic idea was to export high-quality Czech-made agricultural machines abroad. This idea changed quickly. The need to flexibly reflect the knowledge from practical operation and machine 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 agricultural machines, 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.
