Apache was the largest exporter of agricultural machinery in 2024

The agricultural machinery company Apache managed to take its planters to various international destinations, standing out in countries such as Bolivia , Uruguay and South Africa .

Market diversification has been key to the company's success, allowing it to meet the specific needs of different regions and establish long-term relationships with agricultural producers globally. It was the Argentine seed drill company with the largest export volume in 2024 .

One of the most exciting aspects of this new chapter for Apache is its expansion into new destinations. Throughout 2025, the company will continue to expand its market in South America and will also explore opportunities in other regions of the world. This not only diversifies its geographic reach but also strengthens its position as a global leader in agricultural machinery.

In May, the company will be present in Bulgaria at the Bata Agro fair, where Apache will have its own stand. It will also be present at another exhibition in Serbia. These meetings will include the participation of embassies from the respective countries, interviews, and business roundtables.

Also in May, Apache will participate in the "Nampo" exhibition in South Africa . This participation is already a classic for the company, which has South Africa as its main export market for Argentine seeders, where it has already sold nearly 200 machines over the last 10 years.

This year, Apache is also scheduled to participate in Agritechnica, the world's largest agricultural trade fair in Germany , where it has previously participated.

The list of recipient countries during 2024 includes:

• Bolivia: One of the most frequent destinations, consolidating the confidence of Bolivian farmers in the quality and efficiency of Apache machinery.
• Uruguay: With a strong presence in this market, Apache continues to strengthen its role as a reliable supplier to Uruguayan producers.
• South Africa: a growing market that has been strategic for the company's expansion beyond the American continent.

“Our goal for the future is clear: we want to continue building relationships of trust with producers around the world, bringing our technology to places where it can make a real difference,” commented Fernando Porcel , Apache’s commercial manager.

The success achieved has not been accidental. Apache has implemented a strategic vision that combines technological innovation, product customization, and excellent customer service. Each market has its own unique needs and demands, and Apache has been able to adapt with machinery designed to meet the specific challenges of each region.

“We are immensely proud of the results achieved in 2024. This success is a direct reflection of the effort and dedication of the entire Apache team. We know that being a leader in exported units is not only an achievement, but also a great responsibility that we assume with enthusiasm and commitment,” Porcel notes.

This Argentine company's constant growth in the market would not be possible without its firm commitment to technological innovation . Each machine is developed with the highest quality standards, ensuring that agricultural producers have tools that maximize efficiency and productivity in their operations. The company's ability to adapt to the demands of each market and offer customized solutions has been a determining factor in its success.

Beyond its sales and export achievements, Apache is committed to the sustainable development of the agro-industrial sector. Its focus is not only on maximizing agricultural productivity but also on contributing to the progress of the communities where it operates. Each exported machine bears the seal of quality and trust that characterizes the Argentine industry internationally.

Carlos Castellani , owner of Apache, emphasizes, “Our new slogan is “Planting moves us,” and that is how it moves us, has moved us, and will continue to move us to continue growing alongside producers in the country and around the world.”

Looking ahead to 2025, Apache is preparing to face new challenges and continue its path of success. The company not only seeks to maintain its leadership in exports but also to expand its impact in existing and emerging markets. This strategic approach ensures that Apache will remain a key partner for agricultural producers, bringing innovative technology and efficient solutions to more corners of the world.

Founded in 1957 in the town of Las Parejas, Santa Fe province, Apache began its operations as a manufacturer of various agricultural implements. Apache has always been close to the people who work in the fields, attentive to their needs. In just a few years, we were able to offer producers a complete line of tillage, seed preparation, and sowing implements.

Thus, what began as an almost artisanal production process gradually transformed into mass production with the launch of the new industrial plant in the late 1970s.

Almost 70 years after its founding, with more than 10,000 planting machines produced and sold in Argentina and around the world, Apache is a benchmark in the design, production, and marketing of agricultural machinery.
