The origins of the company date back to 1888. At that time, František Knotek established a factory in Jičín for the production of farm machinery and tools. In 1913 the company expanded to include a foundry for malleable iron. The company was nationalised in 1945 and five years later the company was renamed to Agrostroj Jičín, national enterprise. Its new specialisation was the production of machines for harvesting cereals, forage crops and root crops. Production continued to grow and the company expanded.

In 1954, one of the most modern foundries of that time was part of the production. In 1960, a machine hall was added for the assembly of heavy agricultural machinery such as beet harvesters, ploughs, potato graders, etc.

7 years later, a melting shop with electric induction furnaces and a machining line for the production of cylinder liners for internal combustion engines were added. The product range has been expanded to include mowing and construction machines, six-row self-propelled trimmers. However, the development continued and other products from Agrostroj Jičín were successfully sold on the market.

In 1994, the company was privatised. In the same year, production of garden tractors for mowing grass began. Subsequently, the name was changed to AGS Jičín a.s. and later to Seco GROUP, a.s. After the ownership changes were settled, the company was renamed to Seco Industries, s.r.o. in 2017. There has been a large increase in investment in production technology and human resources, as well as in production and warehouse space. The distribution of garden tractors and mulchers with the new SECO product logo and the construction of a new machining hall with subsequent robotization of selected workplaces was launched.
