Farmtec

What Farmtec does

Farmtec a.s. is a Czech agricultural technology company headquartered in Jistebnice and a member of the AGROFERT conglomerate, founded in 1996 with 11-50 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and installs complete technologies for livestock farming, organized around three product pillars: livestock housing and equipment (cattle, pig, poultry, and sheep/goat barns), milking and milk-cooling systems (herringbone, parallel, tandem, and rotary parlors manufactured in-house, GEA robotic milking, and exclusive Czech distribution of SERAP milk cooling), and renewable energy systems (biogas stations with FARMSOFT BPS control, photovoltaic and agrovoltaic installations, and container-based battery storage from 500 kW). Proprietary technology includes FARMSOFT herd-management and biogas-control software and the Vitalimetry FA22/FA25 motion-activity monitoring systems, the latter winning the AGRISHOW 2026 Smart Farming award.

The company earns revenue primarily through large project-based turnkey deliveries (one-time equipment sales bundled with consulting, design, EIA and dispersion studies, construction management, installation, and optional financing), supplemented by a recurring servicing and maintenance stream (warranty inspections, 24/7 authorized service network, technology/milking/OZE biology servicing) and a transactional e-commerce channel for spare parts via shop.farmtec.cz. Pricing is quote-based for projects, with indicative unit pricing on the e-shop. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales through regional directorates across the Czech Republic, complemented by participation in agricultural exhibitions (Země živitelka), webinars, open-door days, and a multilingual website (Czech, English, Polish, German) supporting Slovak operations.

Farmtec serves enterprise agricultural customers — primarily dairy, pig, and poultry cooperatives and joint-stock companies — across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Customer concentration sits in mid-to-large farms, with named references spanning cooperative dairies (e.g., AGRO Záhoří, PD Gader Blatnica, Družstvo Vysočina, ZOS Onomyšl) and educational institutions (Veterinární univerzita Brno). Adjacent offerings include container-based slaughter, meat, and milk processing facilities, slurry pit technologies, and small-ruminant solutions, positioning the company as a full-stack agricultural equipment integrator rather than a single-product vendor.
