What AGICO GROUP does
AGICO GROUP is a privately held Chinese industrial machinery manufacturer and import/export trading company headquartered in Anyang, Henan, China. Founded in 1990 with 251-500 employees, the company designs, manufactures, and exports turnkey production lines across five primary product categories: biomass pellet mills and complete pellet plants (50 kg/h to 30 t/h capacity), oil mill machinery covering pretreatment, pressing, solvent extraction, refining, and dewaxing (10-5,000 TPD), flour mill plants (10-1,000 TPD), poultry cage systems (layer, broiler, breeder, pullet, plus rabbit/duck/pigeon cages), and pulp-molded egg tray machines (1,000-9,000 pcs/h). The company holds CE, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications, owns 8 technology patents, and operates as a China export customs A-class enterprise shipping to 20+ countries across Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South America, Eastern Europe, and North America.
AGICO's underlying technology is mechanically engineered process equipment — including ring-die and flat-die pellet presses (7.5-30 kW), multi-stage vegetable oil processing lines, multi-tier poultry cages with integrated feeding/drinking/egg collection/manure removal (15-25 year service life, 95-99% pullet survival rate), and drum-type egg tray machines in 1-side through 12-side configurations. The company delivers turnkey projects combining process design, manufacturing, factory inspection, on-site installation, commissioning, and after-sales service. Free farm layout design and custom engineering are used to convert inquiries into project orders across both smallholder household buyers (mini pellet mills, mini oil mills, small egg tray machines) and enterprise-scale turnkey plant operators (palm oil mills in Indonesia, wheat flour plants in Ethiopia and Algeria, corn processing in Angola, wood pellet plants in Vietnam, butter rendering in Turkmenistan).
Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time hardware sales of industrial machinery (quote-based pricing with T/T 30% advance, 70% against copy of B/L), professional services (engineering, installation, commissioning, operational training), spare parts and customized components for installed equipment bases, and broader import/export trading in food, chemicals, textiles, and steel. Go-to-market combines direct B2B field sales to industrial and agricultural processors, quote-driven e-commerce via agico.com.cn, and channel-partner-enabled export across 20+ countries leveraging Alibaba quality supplier status and cross-border e-commerce services.
