Product overview

TEHNOS d.o.o. is a development-oriented Slovenian manufacturing company founded in 1983, operating two main business segments: Agricultural Machinery and OEM Components. The Agricultural Machinery division produces a comprehensive portfolio of flail mowers organized into sub-categories including Universal (MU PROFI LW, MUL LIGHT LW, MULS SIMPLE LW, MU GT LW, MUH HEAVY LW, MU2D PROFI LW, MU2Z PROFI LW), Side Flail Mowers (MB, MBL, MBLS series), Flexible Side Flail Mowers (MBP, MBPL), Field Shredders (MP, MPL), Finishing Mowers (MT, MTV VARIO, MTL), and Orchard/Vineyard Flail Mowers (MUS, P series, MRC). These machines share patented technologies including Low Vib (LW) flail distribution and hydraulic collision protection. The Field Work product line includes interrow cultivators, planters, and potato diggers. The OEM division provides custom components for caravanning (seat frames, hinges, wiper mechanisms), machine construction (welded assemblies, machined parts), plastics and rubber processing (injection moulding), and home accessories (insect screens). The company also operates a grains business with corn purchasing, drying, and storage services. Optional combinations allow multiple flail mowers to be used simultaneously for larger working widths.
