What cima spa does

CIMA SpA is an Italian manufacturer of pneumatic crop-protection equipment, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Montù Beccaria, Pavia. The company designs and builds low-volume pneumatic sprayers (atomizzatori) and dusters (impolveratori) for orchards, vineyards, and other specialty crops, built around the proprietary Venturi Tube pneumatic atomization principle that delivers droplet formation without high-pressure pumps.

The product portfolio is structured around in-house electronic and control platforms rather than third-party stacks: EPA 2.0 and ROB3 EVO handle electronic flow and section control, VRT (Variable Rate Technology) applies prescription maps, DOSA — developed in partnership with the University of Turin — enables variable-rate dosing, and EASY FARM plus ISOBUS integration connect the machines to tractor buses and farm-management software. Newer releases include the SYNERGY platform (2026) and the Agricoltura 4.0 Kit (2026), the latter engineered to qualify buyers for Italy's Agriculture 4.0 fiscal incentives.

CIMA sells through a multi-country dealer network complemented by a direct online configurator and custom quotation, with aftersales supported by the MyCima owner portal and the drawings.cima.it parts and documentation site. The company is privately held, with €1,000,000 registered capital and a headcount in the 11–50 range, serving specialty-crop growers across Europe, Africa, and Oceania.

Core offering

CIMA S.p.A. designs and manufactures agricultural pneumatic sprayers (atomizzatori) and dusters (impolveratori) for phytosanitary crop treatment, based on the proprietary Venturi Tube low-volume atomization principle. Its product portfolio covers mounted (New Plus), trailed (Blitz), articulated (Link), and telescopic straddling (SYNERGY, ROB3 EVO) sprayers, plus interchangeable crop-specific spray heads and precision-agriculture systems (EPA 2.0, VRT, DOSA, EASY FARM, ISOBUS). Equipment is sold through an Italian dealer network and via direct international custom-project engagements.

Product overview

CIMA SpA manufactures agricultural sprayers (atomizzatori) and dusters (impolveratori) for precision crop protection. The product portfolio consists of three main sprayer types — mounted (portato: New Plus series), trailed (trainato: Blitz series), and articulated (snodato: Link series) — all utilizing pneumatic low-volume spraying technology based on the Tube Venturi principle for phytosanitary treatments. The sprayer lineup spans multiple tank sizes (300–2000 liters) and power requirements (18–70 kW). Complementing the base sprayers, CIMA offers an extensive range of interchangeable spray heads for specific crops: Testata Olivo Doppia for olive groves, Testata 4 Olivo for high-density canopy crops, Testata Savoia for narrow-row steep-slope vineyards, Testata Scavallante for straddling multiple rows, Testata 4/6 Ventagli for fan coverage, Getto Cannone Verticale for tall trees, and BERRY BOOM for soft fruit. CIMA also produces a line of mounted and trailed dusters (impolveratori). On the technology side, CIMA provides EPA 2.0 for proportional spray application, VRT for variable-rate precision application, ROB3 EVO as a computerized articulated sprayer with GPS and cloud connectivity, EASY FARM data management software, ISOBUS for tractor-sprayer communication, and DOSA anti-drift diffuser system. The SYNERGY telescopic straddling sprayer represents the latest product innovation. A product configurator tool enables customers to specify sprayers by tractor power and crop type.
