HSCS was founded in the early 20th century as Hofherr-Schrantz-Clayton-Shuttleworth, by a group Hungarian business men and the British firm of Clayton and Shuttleworth.

The partnership with Clayton and Shuttleworth was bought out in 1921.

HSCS then built their first tractor in 1923. The first machine was a petrol engine model. This was followed by a Semi-diesel to the Lanz design, after they bought the firm out in 1938. These were built till the 1950s.

In 1951 the company was renamed Red Star Tractors when it was nationalised by the communist government of the day and started in the 1960's using the brand name of Dutra on its tractor.
