Steyr Heritage & Engineering Legacy

Historical milestones, founding origins, and technological breakthroughs.

Est. 1864 đź“Ť St. Valentin, Lower Austria Parent: CNH Industrial N.V.

Steyr’s engineering lineage began in 1864 in the Austrian metalworking city of Steyr, founded by Josef Werndl as a weapons manufacturer known for superlative metallurgy and machining tolerances. Following World War II, Steyr applied its engineering mastery to agricultural recovery, rolling out its first tractor—the iconic Steyr Type 180—in 1947.

Steyr quickly established itself as the preeminent tractor in Alpine agriculture, engineering low-center-of-gravity machines capable of operating safely on steep mountain hillsides. In the 1990s, Steyr pioneered continuous variable transmission (CVT) technology and developed the renowned "Plus" and "9000" series. Today, as CNH Industrial’s premium Austrian brand, Steyr’s high-tech St. Valentin factory produces benchmark Profi, Terrus CVT, and Absolut CVT tractors celebrated for luxury cab trim and precision farming.
