Ag Growth International Inc.
AGI is a publicly traded Canadian manufacturer of grain handling and food infrastructure equipment, serving farmers and commercial processors globally.
Ag Growth International Inc.
AGI began in 1996 when a group of agricultural equipment dealers in Western Canada pooled resources to build a grain-handling equipment manufacturer. The company went public on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2005 under the ticker AFN. Its ownership base includes institutional investors and public shareholders; no single family controls the firm. AGI's strategy covers equipment manufacturing, customized engineering, and aftermarket parts for the agricultural supply chain. The company serves farmers, grain elevators, fertilizer blenders, seed processors, and food manufacturers across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Confirmed segments include grain storage bins, conveyors, dryers, aeration systems, and dust control equipment. AGI operates through dozens of brands such as Hutchinson, Hi Roller, and Tramco. The company employs approximately 4,000 people across 20+ manufacturing facilities on four continents. In April 2026, AGI marked its 30th anniversary by celebrating its founders' legacy and commitment to agriculture (per the firm, April 2026). The firm also reported that its Marshall facility achieved five consecutive years with no lost-time injury as of May 2026. AGI's structural differentiator lies in its public-company discipline combined with a niche focus on agricultural infrastructure. Unlike many farm-equipment manufacturers that serve only the on-farm segment, AGI spans both farm and commercial channels, giving it exposure to the entire grain handling and food processing chain.
