For the Editor

Escorts Limited pioneered farm mechanization in the country by launching Escorts Agricultural Machines Limited in 1948, with a franchise of the U.S.-based Minneapolis Moline, for marketing tractors, implements, engines & other farm equipments. In 1960, the company set up the strategic Agri Machinery Group (AMG) to venture into production and marketing of tractors and rolled out its first batch of tractors in 1965 under the ‘Escorts’ brand name. In 1969, a separate company, Escorts Tractors Ltd. was established with equity participation of Ford Motor Co., Basildon, UK for the manufacture of Ford agricultural tractors in India. In the year 1996, Escorts Tractors Ltd. formally merged with Escorts AMG.

With over 1 Million Escorts tractors rolled out since the company’s inception and a production capacity of 98,940 tractors per annum, Escorts Tractors are amongst the largest selling tractors in India where every third tractor is an Escorts brand.

The Escort brand of tractors is symbolic of reliability and trust. Spanning three brands, viz. ‘Escort’, ‘Powertrac’, and ‘Farmtrac’, the company has a comprehensive range of tractors, more than 45 variants starting from 25 to 80 HP, to cater to both domestic as well as overseas markets. Escorts is the first tractor manufacturer in the world which has been awarded the prestigious TS 16949 Certification for its quality management.
