POL-MOT Warfama is a direct heir of the State Enterprise – Warmian Agricultural Machine Factory “AGROMET-WARFAMA” Dobre Miasto, established in 1946. The first products of this factory were the simple “Jutrzenka” threshers. In subsequent years, its production range gradually expanded. In the 1970s, the factory was expanded and in 1978, serial production of dump-body trailers began.
A critical moment in the history of the company was 1997, when the plant became privatised, and the majority shareholding of Warfama was acquired by Pol-Mot Holding. It was when a dynamic growth of the enterprises began. Roll-balers, bale wrapping machines and bale loader trailers were added to the production range, which now made a complete technological line for gathering and storing green fodder, hay and straw.
In 2003, the production offer was extended by the family of tractor-mounted backhoe loaders, Mikrus, self-propelled backhoe loaders, Warmia 510, and trailers for waste compacting and removal – Fuzer. At the end of 2005, Pol-Mot Warfama S.A. signed an agreement concerning commercial cooperation with a Chinese corporation, Shandong Foton Heavy Industries Co., Ltd, concerning the distribution of its products in Poland and in neighbourhood markets.
In 2006, Pol-Mot Warfama S.A. Dobre Miasto merged with Pol-Mot TUR S.A. in Biedaszki Małe – a manufacturer known mostly for TUR tractor front loaders, popular in rural areas. Currently, both companies operate under the name POL-MOT WARFAMA S.A., offering their customers an even broader range of products. In 2006, POL-MOT Warfama acquired 100% shares in Agricultural Machine Factory POL-MOT Opalenica Sp. z o. o, based in Opalenica.
