History

Leaders always look toward the future.

Tractor Inc. was founded in 1890 in St. Rosemary, California, as a manufacturing company of chemicals and constructional materials. Over the past 55 years, we have grown from a small-sized local company into a global technological corporate.
Tractor’s manufacturing capabilities are called upon by the U.S. Commercial Department in 1990. During the next seven years, the company had produced more than 10 million tons of constructional chemicals and materials.
Much of Tractor’s spectacular growth in the last 20 years resulted from the booming population and the increasing needs for a place to live of the citizens. We have the determination to assist our people with the best facilities.
