In 2001, a new company, Guerra, obtained an agreement with Ursus to build tractors. and created Ursus M\u00E1quinas Agr\u00EDcolas Ltda. with production in Farroupilha, RS, Brazil. Guerra added some Goldoni models shortly thereafter, and built tractors for export to other Latin American countries under the Maxter brand. By 2003 local content of the tractors had reached 70%. In 2005, the Kuhn Group purchased the company, and in 2008 shifted to begin building Mahindra-based tractors, nationalizing them (increasing local content), slowly replacing the Ursus tractors from Poland, but keeping the name, Ursus. In 2013 the production of Mahindra models was assumed by Bramont in new plant in Dois Irm\u00E3os, RS, Brazil."@en . . . . "Bramont"@en .
