Yargus Manufacturing Inc.

What Yargus Manufacturing Inc. does

Yargus Manufacturing Inc. is a brand under AGI (Ag Growth International), a publicly traded Canadian agricultural equipment company (TSX: AFN), focused on the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of fertilizer handling and blending systems. Within AGI's Fertilizer Systems portfolio, Yargus is the dedicated line for dry and liquid fertilizer plant equipment, including vertical blenders, liquid handling systems, bulk receiving components, and tower blend systems.

The company's core product set covers the full fertilizer handling lifecycle: space-efficient vertical blenders for dry blending, liquid fertilizer equipment spanning receiving to load-out and dust control, and bulk receiving infrastructure such as bucket elevator legs, overhead and shuttle conveyors, feed hoppers, delumpers, and tanks. Yargus-branded products are integrated with AGI CMC precision operations management technology, which provides gate positioning and accuracy controls for fertilizer handling facilities. All products are custom-engineered to fit unique customer facility requirements rather than sold as off-the-shelf catalog items.

Yargus sells through AGI's North American dealer network with direct manufacturer support via phone and email, targeting commercial agricultural operations — primarily agricultural cooperatives, fertilizer distributors, and large ag retail enterprises. Visible customers include Ray-Carroll County Grain Growers, Hi-Line Co-op, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Wilbur-Ellis, and Agland. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales contracts with quote-based pricing, supplemented by installation and maintenance services. Operating geographies are concentrated in North America (US and Canada), and Yargus has no standalone public listing, acting as a subsidiary brand within AGI's broader agricultural equipment portfolio.
