News 3 March 2025Mechan International expands Italian footprint with Busato acquisition

Mechan International is pleased to announce the acquisition of the majority of the shares in Busato Macchine Agricole Srl, a leading agricultural machinery dealer based in the Veneto region of Italy, effective February 28, 2025.

This acquisition marks a next step in Mechan International’s strategy to expand its presence across Europe, enhancing its ability to deliver cutting-edge agricultural solutions to farmers in Italy.


A proud legacy and a strong future

Founded in 1973 by Duilio Busato, Busato Macchine Agricole Srl has grown from a local dealership in the fertile lands of Castelminio di Resana to a market leader in the provinces of Treviso, Padua, Belluno and Venice. Over the years, the company has established a reputation for its commitment to technology, quality, and exceptional service, making it a trusted partner for agricultural professionals. Managed by Duilio’s sons, Tiziano and Stefano, Busato is synonymous with customer-centric innovation and excellence.


Strategic alignment and shared values

"Busato’s strong focus on technology, customer relationships, and premium brands aligns perfectly with Mechan International's vision to support sustainable growth and innovation in agriculture," said Ronald Slaats, CEO of Mechan International. "This acquisition combines Busato’s deep regional expertise with Mechan’s global reach, creating new opportunities to thrive."


Busato’s portfolio includes industry-leading brands such as Fendt and Amazone, alongside a robust short-term rental service and advanced after-sales support. Mechan International’s investment will further enhance these offerings, ensuring continuity for Busato's customers while introducing new resources to drive growth and modernization.


Investing in innovation and precision agriculture

Mechan International remains dedicated to addressing the dynamic needs of modern agriculture by harnessing the power of precision farming technologies and promoting sustainable solutions. Through this acquisition, Busato will be empowered to advance its smart farming initiatives, benefiting from Mechan's industry expertise and global reach. Plans are already in motion for a cutting-edge workshop and expanded facilities, further strengthening the company’s commitment to innovation in agriculture.


Tiziano and Stafano Busato commented: "This partnership marks an essential step in ensuring we continue to be a trusted provider of advanced agricultural technologies. By combining our local expertise with Mechan International’s global resources, we are well-positioned to support farmers in achieving greater efficiency and success."


Ensuring continuity and local expertise

All employees of Busato Macchine Agricole Srl will remain part of the company, ensuring a seamless transition for its valued customers. Tiziano and Stefano Busato will continue to lead the business, supported by Mechan International’s strategic resources.


Supporting growth in Italy

Mechan International is already active in Italy through AgriVerde Srl, its subsidiary and authorized distributor for Massey Ferguson and Fendt in Verona and for Massey Ferguson in Rovigo and Padua. The acquisition of the shares in Busato Macchine Agricole Srl aligns with Mechan International’s strategy to deepen its presence in Italy’s agricultural market. With its rich farming tradition and renowned expertise, Italy remains a key region for Mechan International’s continued investment and growth.
