Jorgensen

What Jorgensen does

Jorgensen (legal entity ING. JORGENSEN & ASOC. S.R.L.) is an Argentine industrial engineering company founded in 1994 in Don Torcuato, Buenos Aires, operating through two divisions: Agroindustria and Metalúrgica. Its core business is the design, manufacture, and sale of automated truck and railway wagon samplers (the TH-series, models TH-06, TH-10, TH-12, and TH-XV) used by port terminals, oil terminals, and grain storage facilities to obtain representative samples of cereals and bulk commodities from incoming and outgoing trucks. The samplers use hydraulic drive systems with pneumatic sample transport and gravity-driven probing, with claimed processing capacity of up to 400+ trucks per day at throughput levels.

The company's most differentiated offering is the T-Scanner, developed in a 2018 strategic alliance with TECNOCIENTÍFICA S.A., which adds modularized NIR (Near-Infrared) spectrometric analysis at the probe tip to deliver real-time grain quality data — moisture, protein, and fat content — with per-truck traceability and CAN-protocol data transmission. This system is protected by patents granted in the USA, Australia, Russia, Ukraine, Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina, with filings pending in India, Canada, and the European Economic Community. Jorgensen also distributes Cimbria MODUFLEX retractable loading sleeves for dust-free bulk handling and operates a secondary Metalúrgica division offering CNC cutting, bending, plasma/oxycutting, and cylindrical fabrication services.

Commercially, Jorgensen sells equipment directly to enterprise clients via a sales-led, event-supported go-to-market (Expoagro 2017 Champions award recipient), with dedicated product websites, regional WhatsApp business lines, and quote-based pricing. The company reports 500+ clients across 18 countries and 4 continents, with the equipment used in virtually all Argentine port and oil terminals. Ownership is private (S.R.L. — Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada), no parent company or institutional investors are disclosed, and headcount is in the 11-50 range.
