Arbos Tractors

Arbos is a historical Italian agricultural brand that was revived in 2015 after being acquired by the Chinese industrial giant Foton Lovol. Originally founded in Italy in the mid-20th century, the brand was famous for its combine harvesters and tractors before facing dissolution in the 1990s.

Today, Arbos serves as a global brand under the Lovol Heavy Industry umbrella. While the brand maintains a research and development center in Italy to preserve its European engineering heritage, the primary manufacturing and heavy production take place in China. This strategic move allowed the Chinese owners to enter the high-end European agricultural market using a brand with deep historical recognition.

Ownership of Arbos sits with Lovol Heavy Industry, which itself became part of the Weichai Group in late 2020. This acquisition solidifies Arbos's position within one of China's largest industrial conglomerates, focusing on modernizing global agriculture through smart technology.
