It is one of the largest companies in Tagmatium and a leading supplier of agricultural machinery across Europa and the wider Eurth.

History
Ioannes Kervos was an early manufacturer of traction engines for use in agriculture. Although not the originator of the use of steam power in agriculture, Ioannes Kervos was able to successfully demonstrate a system for steam-driven ploughs in 1849. Initially, the company specialised in making and selling parts for converting traction engines into steam ploughs before diversifying into manufacturing their own traction and ploughing engines. By the late 1800s, the company was also making road locomotives, steam waggons and lorries. This subsidiary was split off in 1898, under the name Hippokomos, the logo inspired by the deer of its parent company but using a horse instead.
