SECO Traction Engine

Company History

Sanborn Electric Co was founded in 1871 by Gerald Sanborn. Also hailing from Balkhari, SECO's early focus was on stationary engines and other agricultural equipment. Over their 30-year history they made a quick pivot to focus on their best-selling products, their line of heavy tractors. Eventually becoming the powerful traction engines they are known for today. Though aware their equipment is used as a platform for war and the Empire's expansion, they maintain a position of neutrality. Refitting of equipment by third parties for unintended purposes is not their concern.
