MAGMA-AGRO S.A.

What MAGMA-AGRO S.A. does

MAGMA-AGRO S.A. is a privately held Greek agricultural inputs company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Marousi, Attiki, with a six-site operational footprint spanning the Oinofyta industrial facility (5,500 m² with 4 production and 6 packaging lines), Thessaloniki warehouse, Field Trials Unit in Nea Filadelfeia, a new 2024 fertilizer plant in Corinth, and an R&D branch in Chania, Crete. The company formulates, packages, and distributes plant protection products (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, acaricides, and biological controls) and plant nutrition products (granular and liquid fertilizers, chelated micronutrients, biostimulants, and pheromone-based trap systems such as FLYPACK-DACUS), operating a portfolio of more than 40 proprietary SKUs and more than 25 partner products.

Its GEP-accredited (since 2012) and GLP-accredited (since 2016) Field Trials Unit has conducted over 1,371 trials across 32 crops, generating a proprietary local-condition efficacy dataset that anchors both product registration support and direct sales. Revenue is generated through four streams: sale of own and imported plant protection products, sale of plant nutrition products, GEP/GLP field trial and residue study services for multinational agrochemical clients (including FMC Greece, SAGEA Group, and SEDQ), and third-party manufacturing/packaging/storage/distribution services for major Greek agro-sector companies. Distribution of imported products runs through partner Alfa Agricultural Supplies S.A.'s nation-wide network, while direct distribution is supported by 10 permanently employed, GEP/GLP-trained agronomists who provide on-the-ground technical advice to Greek farmers and growers.

The company pursues R&D through partnerships with Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, IMBB/FORTH, Athens Agricultural University, and EU-funded consortia (CypTox Horizon Europe, DaCuS, Smart Agro Hub, LIFE Waste4Growth), and holds ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015, and 45001:2018 certifications at Oinofyta. In 2024, the company inaugurated the new Corinth fertilizer plant and appointed Lefteris Zacharis as Executive Manager to oversee the expanded industrial footprint. MAGMA does not disclose revenue and has no public listing, parent company, or external institutional investors documented in the source data.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Syngenta Group: Global agribusiness (crop protection, seeds, digital) now part of ChemChina/Sinochem. A broad incumbent peer to MAGMA across crop protection chemistry, with the global ADAMA subsidiary specifically competing in MAGMA's specialty/generic space.
• Bayer Crop Science: Global crop protection, seeds and digital agriculture business of Bayer. Comparable across crop protection chemistry and seed-applied solutions, with scale and regulatory expertise far exceeding MAGMA's.
• Corteva Agriscience: Global pure-play agriculture company offering crop protection, seeds and digital tools. Overlaps with MAGMA's crop protection and plant nutrition categories, with deeper R&D pipelines and global registration infrastructure.
• FMC Corporation: U.S. agricultural sciences company with insecticides, herbicides and fungicides; MAGMA is a field trial services customer of FMC Greece. Overlapping product categories make FMC a relevant incumbent peer for benchmarking on crop protection R&D and registration pipelines.
• UPL Limited: Indian-headquartered global agrochemical major offering crop protection chemicals, seeds and post-harvest solutions. Comparable to MAGMA as a broad ag-input provider but operating at global scale across crop protection and adjacent categories.
• BASF Agricultural Solutions: Division of BASF offering fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, seeds and digital farming tools. A broad incumbent competitor across MAGMA's core crop protection and crop nutrition categories, with substantially larger R&D and registration capabilities.

Emerging players

• Eurofins Scientific: Luxembourg-based testing group with significant agricultural and environmental testing services including residue studies and field-trial-adjacent work. Comparable to MAGMA's GLP field trial/residue study services business as an expanding service-led platform.

Direct peers

• Sipcam Oxon: Italian agrochemical company with a strong Mediterranean footprint including Greece, offering crop protection, fertilizers and biosolutions. Comparable to MAGMA in regional ag-input focus, formulation strength, and distribution-led GTM across Southern European crops.
• Hellagrolip: Greek agricultural inputs distributor offering fertilizers, crop protection and seeds to Greek growers. Direct domestic peer to MAGMA with overlapping product categories, distribution channels and customer segments in Greece.
• ADAMA Agricultural Solutions: Israel-based global provider of crop protection products including herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. Directly comparable to MAGMA's plant protection portfolio and its model of off-patent/specialty formulations sold across regional markets, including Southern Europe.
