1) ALPEGO S.P.A. is one of the first European makers of agricultural machinery – over 60 years of experience and study -, which was involved with the right preparation and cultivation of the soil. With the ranks of a powerful group of people with enthusiasm and vision under the guidance of brothers Pegoraro, the philosophy for continuous technological development, innovation, and reliability of its machines in the field has been what has established Alpego SPA in many markets around the world.

A key cultural element of the Italian company is the design and manufacture of innovative equipment designed to reduce the cost of production of the farmer, which is achieved in 2 ways:

1) Less, more economical and more efficiently passes in the field,
2) Cash and time profit, achieved through the reliability and less long-term damage to the Alpego machinery compared with the competition.

3) The Caffini company was founded in 1924 in Palù, in the region of Verona, by Giovanni Battista Caffini. We are in the Po valley, in an area devoted to the cultivation of cereals, tobacco, fruits (apples, pears, peaches) and wine yards. The historical context is the development of the first major agricultural mechanisation in Italy. At the beginning the core business of the Company was the repair of agricultural equipment as workshop, followed by the construction of trailers and other equipment for working the soil.

A further evolution took place in the 80s, when the third generation with Roberto, Gerardo and Valeria Caffini, gradually joined the company bringing new ideas and starting first with the production of mist-blower sprayers and, starting from the 90s, with the production of boom sprayers for treatments in the open field.

Sales, at first only in the local area, have developed at a national and international level, bringing the brand Caffini to be known and appreciated throughout the world for its quality, innovation and customer care.

Since 1993 the Company, while maintaining the total family property, became Caffini Spa limited company and since 2003 it is certified by quality management system ISO9001: 2008
Over these 90 years of experience, spirit of innovation, tenacity and passion have turned this family-run business in a Company specialised in the production of machinery for crop protection that is appreciated at international level.
