Agrex

What Agrex does

Agrex Srl is an Italian agricultural machinery manufacturer founded in 1968 and headquartered in Roveredo di Guà, Verona, Italy. The company designs, produces, and sells professional farming equipment across three core categories: mobile and fixed grain dryers (capacities from 10 to 55 cubic meters, including the AGD3 universal mobile dryer for cereals, coffee, cocoa, and tropical crops), centrifugal double-disc and single-disc fertilizer spreaders (the MAXI, FERTI, VIGNA, TVS, TMY, TVM, XA, XL, and SP lines), and salt/sand spreaders plus lime spreaders (the MAXI S, SNOW 1500, KALKO, SPL, and XTL/XTLS lines). Underlying technology includes an indirect heat exchanger system that separates combustion gases from drying air to meet food-industry safety standards, a proprietary bucket elevator recirculation system enabling three-day installation of fixed dryers, and ISOBUS (ISO 11783) integration with GPS-based variable-rate distribution and up to 32-section control across the precision-farming spreader range. The 2025-launched SMART CONNECT system adds touchscreen automation, drying-phase sensors, and remote internet assistance.

Agrex sells exclusively through an international network of qualified distributors spanning more than 37 countries across Europe, Africa, North America, Asia, and Australia, with over 90% of production destined for export. The company employs between 101 and 250 people, holds minimum statutory share capital typical of an Italian Srl (€30,000), and operates as a privately held, family-founded business with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or venture capital backing. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of professional agricultural equipment to small and medium agricultural businesses, cooperatives, post-harvest operators, and machinery importers; no pricing is publicly disclosed and customers are directed to request quotes directly. The company does not publish financials, has no subsidiaries, and reports no acquisitions, partnerships, or funding rounds in the available data.
