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.
