The creation of new machinery at Rostselmash has been marked by several landmark projects.

Since January, serial production of tractors with a KAMAZ engine has begun.

The company has expanded its range of road construction equipment. In addition to telescopic and front-end loaders, the lineup now includes innovative BL 810 backhoe loader. The official premiere of the prototype took place in May. This unique and modern machine, thanks to innovative developments, combines everything necessary for comfortable, efficient, and safe operation. The model boasts a maximum lifting capacity of 3.1 tonnes for its loading equipment. The dump height at the loading equipment pivot point is 3.5 meters; the digging depth of the excavating equipment is 5.8 meters.

In 2022, Rostselmash faced serious challenges associated with global geopolitical changes. In March, the company already faced the consequences of a number of foreign component manufacturers leaving the Russian market. However, the company quickly reconfigured its supply chains and implemented a large-scale import substitution project. It proceeded to develop its competencies, Russian suppliers and partnerships with suppliers from friendly countries. These efforts allowed to maintain the production of equipment necessary for the rural areas.

In 2021, Rostselmash launched its new product – electronic systems.

In March 2021, Rostselmash combines were introduced in a new market. The company delivered a batch of ACROS 585 grain harvesters to Egypt.

In June 2021, Rostselmash held the first ever demo tour of RSM F 2650 forage harvester in France.

In April 2020, Rostselmash implemented one of the company's strategic business projects to expand the central spare parts warehouse, and its second site was commissioned. Taking into account the 5-year development plan of the Company, the total capacity of the central spare parts warehouse has increased by 1.8 times.

In June 2020, assembly of TORUM 750 combines started at the site of KAIK LLP (part of the Virazh Group of Companies). In June 2020, the first presentation of the planned series, dedicated to unmanned technologies and high-precision navigation systems manufactured by Rostselmash and based on the TORUM combine, took place.

In August 2020, the assembly of mechanical transmissions for tractors of the 2000 series started at the Rostselmash production site.

In February 2019, the first machine of the 3000 series (the line of heavy tractors of 435 to 575 hp) came out of the tractor assembly workshop.

April of 2019 saw the start of assembly of a pre-production batch of a new family of RSM F-series forage harvesters with capacity over 200 tons per hour, which was 1.5 times higher than the performance of agricultural machinery of the previous generation.

In November 2019, Rostselmash became the first Russian company in the history of the Agritechnica Exhibition to win a silver medal in the Agritechnica Innovation Award category: the award was given to the RSM Night Vision system for self-propelled agricultural machinery.

In 2018, Rostselmash tractors of the RSM 2000 and RSM 1000 families set 2 performance world records. In July, MFWD 340 tractor set the record for The Largest Area Drilled per Fuel Tank (58.5 hectares for 7.5 hour shift). In August, RSM 2375 tractor with the 9.5-meter DX-850 disc harrow set the record for Maximum Disked Area per Daylight (203 hectares for 13 hours 57 minutes).

In addition, the second generation models of TORUM series (770 & 785) and the new RSM Agrotronic Pilot and RSM Optimax electronic systems were introduced to the market.

In May 2018, the first serial machine of the new model of NOVA grain harvesters rolled off the assembly line of the enterprise.

In 2017, Rostselmash released the new compact-size NOVA combines. The product range also included wide-cut adapters (effective width is over 12 m) of various types. In Summer 2017, the company opened user access to the Agrotronic remote monitoring and control system, representing the Rostselmash electronic systems.

In Autumn 2017, the Company commissioned a new tractor body at the main production facility, and later deployed the full cycle of production of RSM 2375 tractors.

In 2016, the Company presented its first forage harvesters designed on the global platform basis: RSM F 2650 model, which later became the flagship machine in the RSM F family (also incorporating RSM F 2550, RSM F 2450, RSM F 1300).

The same year they sped up production of TS Satellite series multifunctional trailer sprayers, and DX and DV series harrows.

In October 2014, Rostselmash presented the global platform for launching production of the vast range of new agricultural machines. The first model designed on its basis was a unique, extremely efficient RSM 161 grain harvester. The machine with a double-drum threshing system was introduced to the Company’s brand portfolio for the first time.

Starting from 2011, the company incorporated another Canadian manufacturer of sowing and tillage machinery. Thus, Rostselmash became a producer of the full range of agricultural machinery required to cover the entire cycle of field operations.

In 2011–2014, the Company introduced to the market a number of new modifications of the stock machines under Rostselmash and VERSATILE brands (tractors, combines, sprayers, adapters, etc.)

In 2010, Rostselmash tractors set the first world record (later 3 more records were registered for the company’s tractor group in various nominations). On July 13, 2010, a tractor equipped with a wide-level harrow processed 417 ha in 24 hours.

In autumn of the same year, the company launched joint production of the VECTOR KZ model machines at a production site in Kazakhstan.

In 2009, Rostselmash started production of three new families of self-propelled agricultural machines: TORUM rotor-type grain harvesters (the 1st generation), RSM 1401 series forage harvesters, and KSU universal mowers.

Two more new manufacturing facilities joined Rostselmash the same year: sprayer production facility in Canada, and manufacturing site for grain reloading, processing and storage equipment in the USA.

In 2008, the Rostselmash Group launched production of trailed and hitch-mounted equipment for forage harvesting under the RSM brand, including machinery for grain processing and storage.

In spring of 2007, Rostselmash started serial production of the ACROS family machines. Their design featured unique technological systems Smart Launch, JamControl, Adviser, and a number of other engineering solutions, which later became class-descriptive.

In Autumn 2007, Rostselmash started to form the product portfolio of a “full-liner” company. The Company acquired the assets of Buhler Industries Inc, a Canadian agricultural machinery producer; the production range was extended with tractors, and the company’s new brand, VERSATILE, premiered.

In 2005 in Paris (SIMA), Rostselmash came up with an innovative product, which was a one-of-a-kind rotary thresher-separator unit with a fully rotating concave. The innovation contest award winning design later served as the foundation for the release of the new family of machinery, namely, TORUM series.

In June 2004, Rostselmash released the VECTOR machine, the first one of the then-new family of grain harvesters. For the first time these machines got the design, which later became the standard: with the grain tank installed behind the central cab, and the motor set behind the tank.

In 2003 Rostselmash opened its representative office in Kazakhstan, with subsequent deployment of a local production facility.

In 2000, after a strategic investor (Novoe Sodruzhestvo Industrial Union) came to Rostselmash, the company experienced an energy boost. The company focused on a full-scale renewal of the product range, and introduction of advanced manufacturing, administration and management technologies.

In 1985–1999, a large number of new models were developed, such as Don 680 forage harvester, Don 808 power unit, etc.

In the same period, transformation of the state enterprise into an open joint-stock company began (end of 1992), and Rostselmash team became the Company’s owner.

Changes in the political and economic situation in the country in the 1990s affected the Company's operation heavily. Rostselmash had gone through hard times.

In 1984, the 2-millionth combine was manufactured.

In 1973, the enterprise shifted to production of the next generation of self-propelled combines SK-5 Niva. Hillside modifications and modifications for rice harvesting were designed based on this model.

Tomato harvesters, threshers for flax processing, tools for cereal crop harvesting were manufactured during this period. In parallel, the enterprise continued its renovation. During 1970-ies Rostselmash was fully renovated.

By its 50th anniversary in 1979, Rostselmash was a stable leader in its industry.

Due to the renovation, Rostselmash became a specialized enterprise ready to provide the agriculture of the country with state-of-the-art machines.

In August 1969 Rostselmash produced its one-millionth combine.

In February 1962, Rostselmash started to produce the SK-4 standard model, which exceeded the performance of the previous one by 25%.

The machine was awarded a Degree I Diploma at the International Leipzig Exhibition in 1963, won a medal in Czechoslovakia (1964) and received the highest prize, the Silver Cup, the same year in Hungary.

On January 24, 1961, already the 100-thousandth self-propelled SK-3 combine was produced.

In March 1958, Rostselmash was set a new critical task to convert to production of self-propelled combines within a five-month period. On March 15, at 5:30 p.m., the last RSM-8 combine rolled off the production line. This was how the era of pull-type grain harvesters ended, and the era of self-propelled agricultural machines began.In March 1958, Rostselmash was set a new critical task to convert to production of self-propelled combines within a five-month period.

Rostselmash was preparing to produce a new harvester, the Rostselmash-8 combine. As well as Stalinets-1 and Stalinets-6, it was developed by the company’s engineers. The combine had a large header cutting width and increased capacity of the thresher, and the peg-tooth drum was replaced with a beater one. These improvements increased the machine’s capacity. Fifty thousand RSM 8 combines rolled off the assembly line during one year of serial production (December 1956 – January 1958).

The mid 1950-ies were marked by specialization of industrial enterprises in the national economy of the country.

Since August 1955, as per the decision of the Plenum of Central Committee of the USSR Communist Party, Rostselmash started to specialize in production of grain harvesters. Ploughs and corn harvesters were taken out of production.

While there was an intensive post-war restoration of the enterprise, Selmash employees A. A. Krasnichenko, V. V. Proshunin and I. I. Popov designed the Stalinets-6 combine. Its designers were awarded with the Stalin Prize. On April 30, 1947, the harvester workshop assembled the first combines of this model.

In November 1948 Rostselmash was fully renovated. That year, 7,190 combines were produced, and just in one year, in 1949, the enterprise exceeded the pre-war level of production. The total of 34,114 combines were manufactured under the fourth five-year plan (1946–1950).

On February 14, 1943, troops of the Southern Front retook Rostov-on-Don. The city was in ruins, including Rostselmash and its worker camps, which the Nazis were systematically demolishing for eight days before surrendering the city.

Material damage to the enterprise amounted to over 180 million of Stalin-era full-weight roubles.

On February 23, on the 10th day of liberation, the first 33 Rostselmash production machines were put into operation in the destroyed Rostov. At the same time, preparations for manufacturing military products started, and tank, tractor, and vehicle repair shops were arranged. In the shortest time possible, 145,000 square meters of production areas were commissioned. In the course of the restoration, 150 thousand cubic meters of rubble were cleared, 21 million bricks, 37 thousand cubic meters of concrete were laid, 185 thousand cubic meters of roofing, and 8 thousand tons of steel structures were installed.

During the war, thousands of company employees volunteered for the front, and their places at the machines were taken by their wives, sisters, and children. The workshops were quickly converted to production of military equipment. Machines were installed without foundations, on joists that allowed them to be dismantled and rearranged within a few hours. Even when the Fascist troops were already in the outskirts of Rostov, the workers remained at the machines producing equipment for the war effort and at the same time erected defensive structures and bomb shelters.

Equipment dismantling and shipping to Tashkent began on October 13, 1941. The evacuation was an enormous undertaking.
