A&I Products

What A&I Products does

A&I Products is a manufacturer and wholesale distributor of aftermarket replacement parts serving the agricultural, turf, and industrial equipment markets. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Rock Valley, Iowa, the company operates over 750,000 square feet of warehouse space and supports more than 50 tractor brands across 75,000+ applications through an authorized reseller network spanning the United States and Canada (the latter via a Grimsby, Ontario subsidiary). Its catalog spans combine parts (concaves, augers with proprietary SuperEdge flighting 30-50% thicker than standard options, threshing, separator, and grain handling components), tractor parts (steering, cooling, engine, electrical, cab, hitch, transmission), belts and belting, air seeder components (including the patent-pending BOSS 2.0 stainless steel meter housing for John Deere 1900/1910 air carts), planting parts, rubber tracks, and turf/grounds care products.

The company owns several proprietary sub-brands that enhance margin and differentiation versus pure distribution peers: Stalk Stryker corn stalk leveling devices, F-Series Seats, HAYTECH bale monitoring systems, CabCAM camera observation systems with integrations to John Deere GS3/GS4/GS5+, Case-IH AFS/Intelliview, AgLeader, and Raven GPS displays, and tractor canopies. Manufacturing is conducted at the Rock Valley facility with precision balancing of augers (since 2009 investment in IRD Mechanalysis technology at 250-500 RPM), CNC laser manufacturing, and ISO 9001 certification for industrial products including belts, sheaves, and bushings.

A&I Products operates as a strict B2B wholesaler and does not sell directly to end users; pricing and credit terms flow through reseller/dealer accounts approved via state tax certificate, credit check, and territory sales representative sign-off, with end consumers transacting through resellers or the allpartsstore.com storefront. The company is privately held and owned by John Deere, with a 2007 acquisition of Loewen Manufacturing extending its combine parts line, a strategic 2010 partnership with Sunbelt Outdoor Products expanding turf and forestry, and additional distribution alliances with Michelin X Tweel (airless tires), Vosker (LTE security cameras), Mi-T-M (industrial equipment), Rubber Track Solutions, and Quanturi/Quanturi (HAYTECH systems).

Broad incumbents

• John Deere (Aftermarket Parts Division): John Deere is A&I's parent company and operates the OEM-branded parts channel through its dealer network, serving as the benchmark competitor whose installed base drives aftermarket demand for A&I's compatible offerings.
• AGCO Corporation (Massey Ferguson / Gleaner Aftermarket): AGCO's Massey Ferguson and Gleaner brands are among A&I's named customer segments; AGCO's combined aftermarket organization competes for the same replacement parts business across the installed combine and tractor base.
• Oregon Tool: Oregon Tool (formerly Blount International) designs and distributes aftermarket cutting system and outdoor power equipment parts globally, sitting in the same aftermarket channel ecosystem but at much larger scale across multiple categories.
• Sunbelt Outdoor Products: Sunbelt Outdoor Products is A&I's existing turf/forestry/outdoor partner and operates a competing aftermarket parts distribution business across outdoor power equipment, making it both ally and overlapping competitor.
• CNH Industrial (Case IH / New Holland Aftermarket): CNH Industrial's Case IH and New Holland brands are directly named as A&I customer segments through their parts catalogs, making CNH a competing OEM-aftermarket player in the same combine and tractor installed bases A&I supports.
• Stihl Incorporated: Stihl manufactures and distributes OEM replacement parts and accessories for chainsaws and outdoor power equipment, occupying an adjacent turf and grounds care category where A&I also competes through its Sunbelt partnership.

• Messick Farm Equipment: Messick's is a multi-OEM agricultural dealer and parts retailer carrying combine and tractor parts alongside new equipment, overlapping with A&I's parts catalog and customer base through an independent reseller lens.
