Profigrass

What Profigrass does

Profigrass s.r.o. is a Czech specialty distributor and service provider founded in 1996 by Ing. Josef Chytka, headquartered in Brno. The company's original and continuing purpose is to serve as the authorized representation of the American manufacturer Toro in the Czech and Slovak Republics, with the product portfolio subsequently expanded to include 16+ international brands spanning irrigation systems, professional turf and garden machinery, utility vehicles, and outdoor lighting. Core product categories include automatic irrigation systems (control units, solenoid valves, rain/moisture sensors, sprinklers, drip irrigation, pumps, and EPDM pond membranes), Toro-branded garden equipment, TYM municipal tractors, Club Car utility vehicles, Gianni Ferrari professional mowers, and LightPro 12V LED outdoor lighting with smart ZigBee/Wi-Fi controls. Technical differentiation centers on proprietary assembly of end-to-end irrigation solutions rather than novel technology, including the TEMPUS AIR Wi-Fi-enabled irrigation controller.

Profigrass generates revenue through a combination of hardware e-commerce sales (B2C and B2B via profigrass.cz) and professional services including irrigation system design, installation, and full after-sales service across the Czech Republic. Pricing is unit-based in Czech Koruna with no disclosed enterprise contract structure, ranging from small components (~2 Kč) to higher-value equipment (>14,000 Kč). The company serves four primary verticals: golf courses, sports grounds (football pitches), municipal/public parks, and agriculture (orchards, vineyards, greenhouses, field crops), supplemented by individual consumers.

The company is a privately held Czech limited liability company (s.r.o.) with 11-50 employees, no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Marketing channels combine owned e-commerce, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and direct service operations. Geographic scope covers the Czech Republic and Slovakia; revenue, headcount trends, and financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Rachio: Smart Wi-Fi irrigation controller manufacturer selling direct-to-consumer. Comparable to Profigrass's TEMPUS AIR and Wi-Fi controller offerings as a tech-forward disruptor in the smart irrigation segment.
• Netafim: Global leader in drip and micro-irrigation for agriculture. Comparable to Profigrass's drip hose and micro-irrigation category (used in orchards, vineyards, greenhouses) which the company sells but does not manufacture.

Broad incumbents

• Husqvarna Group: Global manufacturer of robotic mowers, chainsaws, and outdoor power equipment, plus the Gardena brand. Comparable to Profigrass's Toro and TYM lawn/garden equipment range, particularly in robotic and ride-on mowers.
• STIHL: Major manufacturer of outdoor power equipment (chainsaws, trimmers, blowers) sold through an extensive European dealer network. Comparable to Profigrass as a competing brand and dealer-channel model in the garden equipment space.
• Hunter Industries: Major manufacturer of residential and commercial irrigation products including controllers, rotors, sprays, and valves. Directly competes in the same irrigation categories Profigrass distributes (and uses Irritrol, Rain, and Toro alternatives).
• Rain Bird Corporation: Global manufacturer of irrigation controllers, valves, sprinklers, and pumps — overlapping directly with Profigrass's core irrigation product line (solenoid valves, controllers, sprinklers) for golf, sports, and residential customers.
• John Deere (Turf & Golf): Manufactures golf course, sports turf, and municipal equipment — directly comparable to Profigrass's golf course and municipal equipment offering from Toro, TYM, and partners. A potential competitor or alternative supplier depending on customer preference.
• Gardena (Husqvarna Group): Gardena is a leading European brand for garden watering, irrigation, and outdoor tools, sold through mass retail across the continent. Highly comparable to Profigrass's irrigation controllers, sprinklers, drip, and garden tool portfolio, but at vastly broader European scale with own-brand products.

Others

• PERROT (a brand of Zoeller Group): Manufacturer of irrigation systems for sports fields and large-area turf, distributed by Profigrass in CZ. Comparable as an OEM partner whose own distribution strategy could compete with or undermine Profigrass's intermediary position.

Regional players

• Mountfield (Stiga Group): Leading Central European retail chain for garden equipment, mowers, and outdoor products with strong presence in Czech Republic. Directly competes with Profigrass in CZ retail and garden machinery categories.
