Kondex Corporation

What Kondex Corporation does

Kondex Corporation is a privately held U.S. precision manufacturer founded in 1974 and headquartered in Lomira, Wisconsin, specializing in wear-resistant metal components for agricultural harvesting, lawn and turf maintenance, construction, and horizontal directional drilling equipment. Its core product set centers on combine concave systems—most notably the KX7 and KX7 Pro lines—alongside sickles, sections, disc mower knives, stalk and straw chopper blades, bedknives, aerator tines, and drill protection components such as Drill Defender. Underlying these products is proprietary metallurgy, in-house Laser Enhancing Technologies (laser cladding, laser heat treat, laser remelting), and a state-of-the-art austemper heat treatment system added as part of a 60,000 square-foot facility expansion completed in Fall 2022.

Kondex generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales of manufactured components, supplemented by replacement parts/aftermarket and contract metal treatment services. Pricing is quote-based with EXW terms from Lomira and 30-day quote validity; the company does not disclose tiered pricing. Its go-to-market blends an authorized dealer network (with a Find-a-Dealer tool on its website) serving farmers and turf professionals with direct OEM sales for factory integration into new equipment. The firm maintains ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, exhibits at major trade shows including AgriTechnica in Germany and Commodity Classic in the USA, and supports multi-language digital content in English, German, French, Spanish, and Polish.

Customer segments span four verticals: agriculture (farmers, ag cooperatives, OEMs—primary), lawn and turf (lawn care professionals, sports field and golf course managers), construction, and horizontal directional drilling (HDD utility contractors). Distribution channels are split between a domestic dealer network targeting SMB and individual customers and direct global OEM sales to enterprise manufacturers. The company remains under private ownership, with management including President Keith Johnson, VP of Manufacturing Brian Bloczynski, and Owner Scott Moon, and has grown organically through reinvestment, capacity expansion, and product platform extensions such as the KX7 Pro Series launched at Commodity Classic in February 2026.

Broad incumbents

• Sandvik: Swedish industrial group with a wide wear-parts and cutting-tools business; competes with Kondex's laser cladding and wear-resistant components capabilities across heavy-industry end markets.
• AGCO Corporation: Global agricultural equipment manufacturer (Massey Ferguson, Fendt, GSI); as an OEM customer and potential competitor, represents both channel opportunity and vertical-integration risk for Kondex.
• Kennametal: Global manufacturer of industrial wear parts, tooling, and metalworking consumables; competes with Kondex in wear-resistant components at a much larger scale across multiple end markets.
• The Toro Company: Major OEM of turf and grounds maintenance equipment; vertically integrated competitor for Kondex's lawn & turf segment where OEMs often make versus buy.

Direct peers

• Geringhoff: German/US manufacturer of corn headers and combine harvesting equipment; competes with Kondex in OEM-grade harvesting components and concaves.
• Capello: Italian manufacturer of combine harvester headers and threshing components including concaves, directly competing with Kondex in agricultural grain-handling wear parts.
• Shelbourne Reynolds: UK-based manufacturer of stripper headers and harvesting components for combines; competes with Kondex in the global agricultural cutting and threshing equipment market.
• R&R Products: US aftermarket supplier of replacement parts for turf and golf course maintenance equipment; directly comparable to Kondex's lawn & turf segment (bedknives, tines, blades).
• Pequea Machine: US manufacturer of turf, hay, and agricultural equipment; competes with Kondex in OEM-grade turf cutting components and ag wear parts.

Emerging players

• Precision Planting: US precision-agriculture technology company (now part of AGCO) that sells retrofit components and sensors to farmers; adjacent to Kondex's aftermarket precision-components GTM.
