LS Mtron is a young legal entity built on a much older industrial operation. The agricultural machinery business at its core began in 1977 within the industrial arm of the Lucky-Goldstar group, the predecessor of today's LG conglomerate, when Korean farm mechanization was taking off.

The lineage then followed the chaebol's restructuring. LG Precision's machinery operations passed through LG Cable until 2003, when the cable and industrial businesses were separated from LG to form the independent LS Group, taking the LS initials from the old Lucky-Goldstar name. The tractor and machinery operations went with the new group.

In July 2008 LS Group consolidated its machinery operations into a newly formed subsidiary, LS Mtron, bringing the agricultural machinery, injection molding, and related component businesses under one company. The tractor line was rebranded from its former identity to the LS Tractor name it carries today.

Growth since has been built on export expansion. LS Tractor USA was established in Battleboro, North Carolina to serve North America, the company built tractor production in Brazil for Latin America and machinery plants in China for Asia, and it has added sales subsidiaries including LS IMM USA and operations in Mexico and Indonesia. By FY2025 the two-pillar model produced KRW 1.1177 trillion in revenue, keeping it a steady mid-size player in both its markets.
