The factory was built on an open field in Lublin from the grounds up, to first produce light trucks and later vans, as well as vehicles for the military.
In September 1938, the construction of a factory for the Warsaw company Lilpop, Rau i Loewenstein began in the Tatary district.
It was planned to start the production of engines, front and rear drive axles, steering systems, as well as clutches and gear boxes.
The establishment of the Lublin factory significantly influenced the formation of the new city emerging after the war for many years.
Engineers from the USSR supervised all construction and assembly works, and the first employees of the FSC Lublin Factory received training at the Soviet GAZ plants.
In accordance with the policy at the time, the plant began production on November 7, 1951 (the 34th anniversary of the October Revolution).
The trucks from Lublin had a load capacity of 2.5 tons, a gasoline engine and a wooden driver's cabin.
Constructed by the company's design office and using an engine and drive units from Warszawa, it set off to conquer Polish roads.
In addition to cars, FSC produced many components for domestic manufacturers; wheels, springs, iron castings, forgings, screw products, drive axles, etc.
At the end of the 1980s, employment in the factory began to decline, due to, among others, with the political and economic changes in Poland and with the increasingly outdated design of Żuk.
On March 14, 1995, a preliminary agreement was signed with the South Korean conglomerate Daewoo to establish a company based on the Lublin Car Factory.
[5] The agreement with the Asian partner was initiated on June 27, and the operations of the new entity "Daewoo Motor Polska" began on October 31, 1995.
[5] The Semi Knock Down standard included, among others: Nexia models (November 1995 - April 1998), Musso (September 1998 - 2001) and Korando (late 1998 - 2000).
The design of the production-ready Maxus had to be sold (the buyer turned out to be the British company LDV ) to pay off the debts.
In January 2009, the Warsaw company "Igma - special and armored vehicles" and DZT Tymińscy entered the agreement.
The new car was available in panel van, chassis, flatbed and station wagon versions, and featured a completely new front end, more comfortable seats and a redesigned frame.
It paid PLN 43 million for Daewoo's property, and together with the rights to the car, the company also purchased, including the assembly, paint, welding and stamping facilities, as well as the research and development center.
[9] Moreover, from 2011 to 2014, Ursus SA assembled Chinese ZX Grand Tiger pick-ups in Lublin (on the premises of the former FSC).
