Subject to official approval, Amazone from Germany will acquire Brazilian fertilizer spreader specialist MP AGRO. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for both companies and signals a further step in the internationalization and growth of the Amazone Group in South America.

The collaboration between both companies enables combining the specialist strengths of both companies, in order to be able to jointly set new standards in professional fertilizer application technology. Under the leadership of Douglas Peccin, MP AGRO’s existing workforce will remain unchanged and the business will continue to operate as usual.

“We will be relying on the MP AGRO team by using both their expertise as well as their closeness to the local market, so that we at Amazone can bring our technology to Brazil,” explain Amazone owners Christian Dreyer and Dr. Justus Dreyer.

The merger aims to offer innovative and high quality agricultural machinery to the Brazilian market and to raise the level of accuracy and sustainability in fertilizer application to a new level.

The strengths of both companies are combined. MP AGRO brings with it a young, motivated and dynamic team that focuses on the sector of fertilizer application and has in-depth market know-how in Brazil. With strong sales partners across Brazil, MP AGRO is known for the quality and reliability of its products.

Amazone, a fourth-generation family business, has stood for constant growth through innovation and precision for over 140 years. Manufacturing products for intelligent crop cultivation, Amazone brings an international success story to the collaboration.

As a joint entity, MP AGRO and Amazone will strive to become a strong supplier of fertilizer application technology in Brazil and to further expand their shared innovative strengths.
