What Mazzotti does

Mazzotti is an Italian privately-held manufacturer of self-propelled agricultural sprayers (irroratrici semoventi) headquartered in Ravenna, Italy, with over 70 years of heritage in agricultural machinery and a first-product milestone in 1987. The company designs and builds precision sprayers across three product families — the compact IBIS series (2100-3600 liter tanks, 140 HP engines, 18-24m booms for horticulture and rice), the mid-range MAF 32/40 series (3200-4000 liter tanks, up to 227 HP engines with TERA 10 monitoring), and the high-performance MAF HP series (4460-6480 liter tanks, 250-300 HP John Deere PowerTech engines, 24-36m booms, 4-wheel steering with crab mode). Technical differentiation rests on sensor-based boom height adjustment, selective nozzle activation, satellite GPS autoguide with 2 cm precision, Arag spray computer integration, Air Sleeve boom technology, hydraulic track adjustment (under 30 minutes), and Level 4 cabin pressurization.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led through a certified dealer network in Italy and international markets, augmented by John Deere's Stellar Support dealer infrastructure and Operations Centre under a 2017 strategic partnership that supplies PowerTech engines and integrates Mazzotti machines into John Deere management systems (Gen 4 monitors, JD Link, Startfire satellite antenna). Mazzotti also sells directly via phone and email, with a crop-based product configurator on its website guiding customers to recommended models. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales of self-propelled sprayers to three primary customer segments — horticulture and specialty crop producers, field crop/cereal producers (corn, soy, wheat, sunflowers, rapeseed), and rice growers — with pricing conducted on a quote basis that is not publicly disclosed.

The legal entity, MAZZOTTI s.r.l., is registered in liquidation (IN LIQUIDAZIONE) with a stated share capital of €25,823, while the operating business and website continue to serve customers. No revenue, headcount, funding, or institutional ownership data is disclosed.
