ZDT

What ZDT does

ZDT (legal entity Zemědělská a dopravní technika, spol. s r.o.) is a privately held Czech manufacturer of agricultural and transport machinery, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Nové Veselí, Czech Republic. The company designs and produces a portfolio of trailers, semitrailers, and specialized agricultural equipment, organized around two complementary lines: the proprietary MEGA and GRAND SUPER interchangeable body system, which allows a single universal chassis to be combined with multiple bodies (rear tipping, two-way and three-way tipping, RM manure spreaders, NTF vacuum tanks, and the GIGA45 high-volume silage body); and single-purpose machines including rear-tipping semitrailers (NS3 through MEGA33 EASY, 4–33 tonne capacity), the GIGANT grain cart (30 m³), platform trailers, livestock transporters (PZ series), forestry log trailers (LVN), combine header trailers, and the RM1 mineral fertilizer spreader. Manufacturing is carried out at two ISO 9001:2015-certified Czech facilities equipped with a Trumpf TruLaser Fiber 3060 and Kjellberg HiFocus 160i plasma cutting center.

ZDT serves primarily agricultural enterprises — farms, livestock operations, forestry businesses, and agricultural cooperatives — as well as customers requiring custom or specialized vehicle modifications. The business model is one-time hardware sales of agricultural machinery with a 24-month warranty, supplemented by recurring spare parts and service revenue (warranty and post-warranty repairs) and an engineering/contract-manufacturing services line covering steel fabrication, sheet metal cutting, bending, welding, and surface treatments. Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct factory sales to large Czech enterprises and a regional distributor network, most recently reinforced by an exclusive partnership with TEAM AGRO FOREST in Slovakia (November 2025), with multilingual commercial coverage extending to Germany, Hungary, and Russia.

The company reports 51–100 employees, no external funding, and no disclosed revenue. Its operations are actively running, with a current product portfolio spanning core OEM equipment, a dedicated special-machines customization unit, and contract manufacturing services that diversify revenue beyond the core agricultural trailer business.
