Two Scots – John Douglas and Andrew Kedslie – established in Lublin a small manufacturing plant of grain separators and straw cutters. This is the beginning of agricultural machinery production in Lublin.
People's needs, geopolitical conditions, the characteristics of people's living conditions and their professional activity have always been factors shaping the directions of their social development. This was also the case for the Lublin region, whose agricultural character has always stimulated in a natural way the evolution of both technological ideas and their industrial applications. The manufacturers engaging in this sort of activity followed not only their desire to satisfy the growing needs of mechanization of Polish agriculture, but also to engage in professional business activity.

After World War II Moritz and Wolski’s factories went under state supervision. As a result of nationalization, the two factories were merged into a state enterprise under the name Lublin Agricultural Machinery Factory (LFMR), which, over the next 40 years, was the subject of various property and organization transformations, while remaining (in accordance to tradition) an agricultural machinery factory.
