Agrimech
Agrimech customers can count on top quality after-sales support
Agrimech is honoured to have been granted a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in recognition of its success both at home and abroad in the bagging and weighing technology and solutions market. Founded in 2009 by Darren and Belinda Smith, over the past 13 years Agrimech has established its reputation as a market leader in specially- designed machinery for the agricultural industry, with its award-winning equipment backed up by an after-sales support system that is second to none. From its base on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border, at the heart of England’s agricultural sector, Agrimech has grown steadily whilst still retaining its family business core values. Having established itself as a major player in agricultural machinery in the United Kingdom, in recent years Agrimech has made inroads into the lucrative North American market, enjoying encouraging success, and with plans in place for further expansion in the sector.
Record overseas sales Since its first forays into North America, overseas sales have grown by more than 200 per cent, moving from 3.9 per cent of the company’s total sales to 13.4 per cent. And lessons learnt across the Atlantic are also proving useful closer to home, with Agrimech’s trademark now registered in 28 countries across Europe. Company founders Darren and Belinda, who are still involved in the day-to-day running of the business, both had years of experience in the sector before launching their own enterprise. Darren spent more than two decades working as a service engineer, while Belinda was brought up in the family vegetable supply company. All products supplied and maintained by Agrimech are also designed and manufactured by their own staff, on site, meaning no-one can know them and maintain them as well as the team at Agrimech.
Respect, trust and repeat business Bespoke adaptations are available on request, and all equipment is made from stainless steel for maximum durability, with the company’s own field service engineers providing after-sales technical support when required. “We’d rather take longer to get the job entirely right, than do it more quickly and fit more jobs in,” says Belinda. “That kind of dedication is the approach that earns you customer respect, trust and repeat business.” Whether it be weighing, stitching, placing or palletizing, Agrimech has top-quality machinery for every step of the process, with the Titan Palletiser, Retribution stitcher, and Genesis bag placing system being some of the company’s top- rated pieces. But it is not just Agrimech’s hardware that has helped build the company’s reputation. For Agrimech, a customer buying a product is the start of the relationship, not the end, and with
