What Vegtech does

VegTech is a privately held Canadian agricultural equipment manufacturer headquartered in Sherrington, Quebec, that designs and builds specialized machinery for commercial vegetable producers. The company sells both standardized equipment and custom-engineered solutions addressing the full vertical of vegetable production, spanning field operations (harvesting, transplanting, net management) and factory operations (receiving, washing, brushing, sorting, sizing, filling, tipping). The product portfolio includes self-propelled tracked harvesters (TORTUGA lettuce harvester, ERUCA baby lettuce harvester, Spinach Harvester), the patent-pending PLANTIS automated transplanter, box fillers (DROP, TRIO), box tippers (Conventional, SoftDrop), washing and preparation equipment (Barrel Washer, Vegetable Brush Washer, Wet Hopper, RollerSizer, Garlic Clove Separator, Inspection Table), harvest conveyors, and a custom production line capability. The underlying technology stack combines mechanical engineering, hydraulic and electric systems, tracked vehicle drivetrains, JCB engines, PLC-style automation, and 4G/Ethernet connectivity on select models for remote monitoring.

VegTech operates a direct sales model driven by website-based quote requests, with a French/English bilingual customer interface and case studies as the primary marketing content. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of standardized and custom equipment, professional services (engineering/design, CAD-based 2D plant plans and 3D prototypes, equipment certification), laser cutting/digital bending/machining/welding manufacturing services, and automation integration including robotics. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customers are enterprise-scale vegetable producers, with named references including Vegpro International, FMS Fresh Produce, Lando and Sons Farm, Luc Thibert & Co./Agri 2004, and Gilles Roy and Sons Farms across crops such as lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions, potatoes, garlic, peppers, cucumbers, cabbage, and broccoli.

The company is founder-led with deep domain roots in the vegetable farming sector, supported by partners including Vegpro International (strategic co-development), Centech (innovation support), and listed industrial partners (Forino, Isabelle, Guinois, DEL). The operating geography is currently Quebec and Canada, with a stated vision to expand across North America. The company is operating with 1-10 employees and has not disclosed any external funding rounds.
