What FG does

FG S.A.S. di Fiorentin Giuseppe & C. (operating as FG Fiorentin) is an Italian privately held partnership founded on 4 May 2007, with operational roots dating to Giuseppe Fiorentin's prior spraying-industry activity from 1992. The company designs and manufactures stainless-steel (AISI 304) calibration and testing equipment for agricultural phytosanitary sprayers, including the MT1 series flow meters (8- and 16-cylinder units), MT2 horizontal patternators, MT3 vertical patternators (manual, motorised, double, and fixed-bench variants), MTMAXX pressure gauges, electromagnetic flowmeters (MTFLOX-HP), sprayer calibrators, and ancillary instruments (anemometers, digital speedometers, stopwatches). Products carry CE marking and the MT2P Groove Patternator holds ENTAM certification from the European Network for Testing Agricultural Machines, positioning FG as a credentialed niche supplier to European sprayer testing regimes.

The company's commercial model is direct B2B hardware sales: customers contact FG via email ([email protected]) or phone to request quotes, with no public pricing, e-commerce, or subscription layer. FG supports demand generation through Italian training courses delivered at universities, foundations, and regional testing centres (Turin, Basilicata, Sicily, Puglia, Lombardy, Fondazione Minoprio, Agroservice), participation in EIMA Bologna (2016, 2018) and ENAMA/ENTAM industry panels, and a multilingual website (Italian, English, Spanish). A Ricambi FG spare-parts portal suggests modest aftermarket revenue potential. Its customer base comprises Italian and European agricultural spray equipment testing centres, sprayer OEMs, and field technicians requiring calibrated, portable, regulatory-compliant test equipment.

FG operates a small manufacturing facility in Breganze (Vicenza) with a registered head office in Marostica, runs a workforce of 11-50 employees, and reports a registered share capital of €25,000. R&D activity is evidenced by the 2017 adoption of SolidWorks CAD/simulation tooling, the 2017 launch of the MT3-Double patternator, and the 2018 completion of a Veneto Region POR-FESR co-financed project (€13,500 loan on €18,000 expenditure) targeting an automated/robotic sprayer calibration prototype. The firm has no public funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and limited recent digital footprint beyond 2021, indicating a stable but sub-scale niche operator.

Core offering

FG designs and manufactures stainless steel calibration and testing equipment for agricultural phytosanitary sprayers, including flow meters (MT1 series), vertical and horizontal patternators (MT2, MT3 series), precision pressure gauges, sprayer calibrators, and transport accessories. The products enable testing centers, sprayer manufacturers, and technicians to measure nozzle flow rates, profile spray distribution, verify pressure, and certify sprayer performance for regulatory compliance.

Product overview

FG Fiorentin is a manufacturer of agricultural sprayer testing and calibration equipment. The product portfolio centers on flow meters (MT1 series with 8 or 16 graduated cylinders) and patternators for spray distribution measurement (vertical MT3 series and horizontal MT2 series), complemented by pressure gauges (MTMAXX series), sprayer calibrators, and precision instruments. The equipment is used for testing and certifying agricultural spraying machines, featuring portable designs in stainless steel with modular components for easy transport and assembly.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• John Deere: Global agricultural equipment giant whose sprayer division (including self-propelled and tractor-mounted sprayers) drives much of the downstream demand for third-party calibration equipment and represents a potential channel partner or competitor.
• Endress+Hauser: Global leader in industrial flow and level measurement whose electromagnetic flowmeters (e.g. Promag series) overlap technically with FG's MTFLOX-HP, though it serves a far broader industrial customer base.
• KROHNE: European industrial flowmeter manufacturer with products applicable to agricultural sprayer calibration contexts — a broader instrumentation incumbent competing for the same flow measurement budget lines.
• AGCO Corporation: Multi-brand agricultural equipment maker (Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Valtra, etc.) with a significant sprayer business — a large incumbent whose dealer/service network overlaps with FG's testing centre customer base.
• TeeJet Technologies: Global manufacturer of spray nozzles, spray controllers and related components for agricultural spraying; overlaps with FG through spray calibration and flow measurement components, but operates at much larger scale across broader product categories.
• Hardi International: Major Danish agricultural sprayer manufacturer that also provides calibration support tools and testing guidance to its dealer/service network — adjacent to FG's customer base of sprayer manufacturers and testing centres.

Regional players

• Caffini: Italian agricultural sprayer manufacturer operating from northern Italy with overlap in calibration tooling and testing services — relevant Italian peer given FG's domestic footprint in Breganze/Veneto.
• Maquinaria Agrícola Solá: Spanish agricultural sprayer manufacturer with related calibration/test equipment offerings, serving Mediterranean markets comparable to FG's Italy-Spain axis.

Direct peers

• Pulverizadores Fede: Spanish specialty-crop sprayer manufacturer with a portfolio that includes sprayer calibration and testing tools, serving the same Mediterranean orchard/vineyard customer profile FG targets with its patternator and flow meter range.
• AAMS-Salvarani: Belgian manufacturer of sprayer calibration equipment including patternators, flow meters and test benches, directly competing with FG's MT1/MT2/MT3 product lines in the European agricultural machinery testing market.
