What Spagnol does

Spagnol srl is an Italy-headquartered agricultural technology company that designs, manufactures, and sells automation systems for greenhouse horticulture, open-field crops, floriculture, soft fruits, nurseries, and vertical/indoor farming. Founded in 1986 (the firmographic year_founded field of 2005 appears to reflect an alternative corporate milestone rather than operational founding), the company is based in Vidor, Treviso, and operates with a reported 1-10 employees under Italian srl (Società a responsabilità limitata) private ownership. ISO9001:2015 certified since 2012, Spagnol sells directly to agricultural enterprises and research institutions across Italy, France, and Spain, with the website published in English, French, Italian, and Spanish.

The product portfolio is organized around an integrated automation stack: climate and irrigation controllers (C-Fenix, I-Fenix, F-Fenix, G-Fenix, Process-C5/C6), fertigation units in both mixing-tank (DosaMix, BravoMix, EvoMix) and direct-injection (DosaJet, BravoJet, EvoJet, EvoJet Magnum) configurations, pumping and mixing units (DrenaMix, ServoMix), UVC disinfection (Ultra LP, Ultra Pro), bicarbonate removal (Ca-Remover Tank, Ca-Remover Line), the Vision supervision platform (On-Premises and Cloud), the Gravimatic weight-based irrigation controller, Drenamatic drainage monitoring, Radio and S-BUS communication systems, and environmental/process/weather sensors, with the VF-Fenix dedicated to vertical farm control. Differentiated technologies cited include the Gravimatic weight-based activation logic (claimed to deliver ~25% water/fertilizer savings and 15-18% production uplift) and the S-BUS distributed data bus enabling remote command across valves, pumps, and third-party sensors.

Spagnol generates revenue via three streams: (1) one-off hardware sales of controllers, fertigation units, sensors, water-treatment devices, and systems, priced per project with multi-year contracts and quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed; (2) subscription/recurring revenue from the Vision Cloud annual subscription for remote supervision across mobile and desktop; and (3) professional services including custom product design (notably for research institutions such as the Edmund Mach Foundation), installation support, and ongoing service. Go-to-market is sales-led, direct-to-customer, with consultation-driven solution design and international support; named reference customers include Santacroce (100-hectare red onion production, EvoJet Magnum deployment) and the Edmund Mach Foundation (custom EVOMIX and ULTRA LF units for an experimental greenhouse). No external funding rounds or parent company are disclosed.
