What Topavi does

Topavi/Maquinaria Garrido S.L. is a privately held Spanish manufacturer of vibration-based harvesting equipment for drupe and tree fruits, headquartered in Autol, La Rioja. Founded in 1993 by Antonio Garrido and operating from a 5,000 sqm facility on the Autol–Calahorra road, the company designs and builds tractor-mounted shaker–collector systems for almonds, walnuts, olives, pistachios, and table fruits, organised across seven core lines (PVM PRO, M6, M6 Plus, M6 PRO, PV, MV, BV) supported by six specialised shaker heads (BP, Pincer, Scissor, Master, Professional, GRIII) and complementary modules including the award-winning PVG electronic control system co-developed with Danfoss, extendable arms, and umbrella collection systems. Technology emphasis is on gentle, electronically parameter-controlled vibration that preserves fruit quality while maximising throughput, with the most recent product extension being the 2022 PVM PRO line fitted with a one-tonne storage tank and next-generation hydraulics.

The business model is hardware sales through an exclusive authorised-distributor network covering the Iberian Peninsula plus international distributors in 40+ countries across five continents, with an installed base supported by an extensive official workshop network for spare parts and technical service. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and transactions are channelled through distributors, with a pre-season promotional campaign (November–January) on mixed harvesters. Customer segments are vertically sliced by fruit type (almond/walnut growers as primary, olive and table-fruit producers as secondary, and high-density plantation operators as a tertiary niche) and are dominated by SMB growers. Additional revenue-adjacent activity includes a private B2B portal for spare parts, orders, documentation, and a user community forum, complemented by 2024 FEDER-REACT co-financing of an in-house digitalisation project and 2025 installation of a 35.49 kWp photovoltaic system delivering 68% self-consumption.
