Brief Description:

    With a history that began in 1987, the company now known as **Hittner** was established when Stjepan Hittner opened a machine shop called "Metalservis" in Bjelovar, Croatia. Initially offering maintenance services for industrial machinery, the shop grew into a limited liability company in 1990 and began producing its own agricultural machinery.

    A pivotal moment came at the end of 2000 with the production of the first **EcoTrac 33V forest skidder** prototype, developed to meet the needs of the Croatian Forestry company. Following its success, serial production began in January 2001. This expansion was supported by the acquisition of a car part manufacturer's production hall in June 2001, allowing Hittner to increase its production program and begin developing larger skidders like the **EcoTrac 120V**. The company's quality, recognized by its ISO 9001:2000 certification and its close cooperation with Croatian Forestry and the University of Zagreb’s Faculty of Forestry, allowed it to achieve a remarkable position in the selective European market.

    After changing its name to "HITTNER" in 2004, the company presented its first small agricultural tractors in 2005, built on the pattern of the well-known Tomo Vinković tractor. By implementing new technologies and technical improvements, these EcoTrac models became deserving successors, demonstrating a symbiosis of tradition and modern development. To meet the highest quality demands, the company began installing DEUTZ and LOMBARDINI engines as well as LINDE hydraulic pumps.

    Over the years, Hittner has continuously invested in its facilities and technology. A 600m² production hall was added in 2012, and in 2014, the "HITTNER-NEW ASSEMBLY LINE" project, partially financed by EU funds, resulted in the acquisition of new CNC machines and the construction of a new 1,300m² assembly hall in 2015. This continuous pursuit of excellence has earned the company numerous awards, including the prestigious “Zlatna kuna” award for excellent business results and the “Croatian gazelle” award for its progressive business philosophy and innovation-based growth, establishing Hittner as a market leader and a role model for high-quality production in Croatia.
