Indutar

What Indutar does

Indutar (legal name Indutar Tecno Metal) is a Brazilian manufacturer of agricultural implements founded in 1998 in Ibirubá, Rio Grande do Sul. The company designs and produces a comprehensive portfolio of crop-cycle machinery including the Katrina knife roller (claimed as the world's best-selling model), Magna Higher and Magna Flex corn and draper platforms, Vision grain carts (15,000 to 40,000 liter capacities), Rupttor and Rompper soil decompaction equipment, Nivella leveling blades, RRP 2000 pivot-track repairers, Serenus limestone spreaders, and Graze rotary mowers.

The company's manufacturing operations are anchored by a 50,000m² Industry 4.0 facility incorporating Japanese AMADA laser cutting, CLOS robotic welding and machining, and in-house electrocoating paint treatment, with ISO 9001 quality certification held since 2008. Indutar holds an exclusive license to manufacture the patented knife roller design developed by inventor Eliseu Schaedler, which underpins the flagship Katrina product line. The company also produces OEM components for AGCO Group and CIBER as a tier-1 supplier within multinational agricultural equipment supply chains.

Indutar's business model is hardware sales of proprietary implements and OEM components, distributed through a representative network covering all Brazilian states plus select international markets (first export to Lithuania in 2017), with after-sales revenue from genuine parts and technical service. Pricing is quotation-based rather than publicly listed. The company serves agricultural producers engaged in soybeans, corn, beans, rice, and sugarcane production. The company is family-owned with a leadership succession underway: founder Airton Stadtlober serves as General Director and his son Henrique Stadtlober as Commercial Director as of 2024.
