With a history stretching back to over 70 years, IMT - Industrija mašina i traktorais a Serbian tractor and agriculture equipment manufacturing company and is one of the most popular tractor brands in Eastern Europe, Northern Africa and the Balkans.

The first factory was founded in 1947 as the central foundry. In 1949, the central foundry and a few local companies were consolidated to form a new company, the Metal Institute which later became to be known as Industrija mašina i traktora (Serbian for ‘Industry of Machinery and Tractors’). TAFE, which had a long association with IMT, acquired IMT in the year 2018. TAFE’s association with IMT spans many decades through business cooperation that involved the supply of components, aggregates and technical support.

IMT is a pioneer in farm mechanization and tractor technology. Our tractors, which range between 35 hp to 220 hp, are suitable for cultivating agricultural land, vineyards & orchards and for infrastructure applications. Our products draw strength from the indigenous R&D and the robust technology that we have built over the past decades.

While tractorization is restricted to primary and secondary tillage and substantial use of haulage, and with the cost benefit equation changing with increase in labour, it is important to provide models of mechanization that are relevant to small and marginal farms.

With a foresight that moving from tractorization to spearheading mechanization is the key to improve farm productivity and rein in labor costs, TAFE has been collaborating with world technology leaders to establish its Applications Business Unit (ABU) to efficiently answer the emerging needs of the global farming community.

Marketed under the Eicher Engines brand, Agro Engines manufactures superior quality diesel engines in the range 12 – 46 hp. These engines are robust, low maintenance, fuel efficient and serve as an additional source of revenue to farmers and our rural customers. In a short span of time, the brand has earned the trust of most customers and is one of the most preferred brand names in the range.
