In the late 1980s, Valmet became aware of the need to manufacture tractors within the EU. A factory was quickly established in Portugal, and in the spring of 1993, the Metta 4000 series was introduced, produced in Portugal, featuring five power classes ranging from 53 to 80 hp. The largest model was a four-cylinder Metta 4600, with an engine equivalent to the 665. The other models were three-cylinder. Except for the hydraulics and the intermediate frame, the Metta was technically equivalent to the Finnish 65 series, but with more modern styling. The cab was more advanced but lower. An open model was also available. A draft control system was not offered. Standard tire sizes were smaller than those of the 65 series in Finland. The Metta was mainly sold in France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

Steyr had a gap in its lineup for tractors of this size, and Steyr decided to have tractors similar to the Metta produced in Portugal. The Metta 4400 was renamed Steyr 667, and the 4600 became the Steyr 680. Production under the Steyr name continued until 1998. After that, the factory was shut down. The Steyr tractors had a different grille. The cab, hood, and grille were white, while the side panels were Steyr red.
