What Matermaco Group does

Matermaco Group is a Belgian importer and distributor of agricultural and industrial equipment, founded in 1946 and headquartered in Gembloux, Belgium. The group operates two core divisions: Matermaco Agriculture, which distributes Massey Ferguson tractors and agricultural machinery, Valtra tractors, and PTx Trimble precision agriculture technology through an extensive network of independent specialized dealers across Belgium; and Matermaco Industry, which supplies Kubota motors, e-power Generators (manufactured at a 27,000 m² facility in Nieuwerkerken), and Trime light towers (manufactured in Italy) direct to industrial customers including construction, municipalities, and industrial cleaning segments. The company also runs consolidated parts, technical training, helpdesk, and after-sales service operations for both divisions.

The business model is a hybrid of exclusive OEM distribution and light manufacturing. Revenue derives primarily from one-time hardware sales of distributed equipment and e-power manufactured generators, complemented by recurring aftermarket parts and service revenue. Matermaco holds exclusive Belgian importer status for six major OEM brands, providing contractual territory protection and channel leverage. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is operated on a quote-based model through dealers (agriculture) and direct field sales (industry). Go-to-market combines channel-partner distribution, direct enterprise field sales, and ongoing marketing support to the dealer network.

Matermaco has been a subsidiary of Dutch holding company Mechan Holding since 2005, following the earlier acquisition and 2016 integration of Belmaco NV. With 101–250 employees, an ISO 9001-certified manufacturing operation (e-power, certified 1994), and 75-plus years of operating history, the group occupies a stable incumbent position in the Belgian agricultural and light-industrial equipment market.
