Lawn sweepers are particularly useful in the fall for leaf and debris collection. Additionally, we are renowned for our fertilizer and salt spreaders, carts, including polycarts and steel carts, along with groomers, aerators, lawn rollers, and vacuum systems that attach to tractors. We continue to invest in innovation within these core products and some adjacent areas. For instance, we have expanded into subcompact utility tractors and larger threepoint attachment sprayers, as well as material collection systems that can ride along on a subcompact utility tractor. Moreover, we are targeting the commercial small agriculture and hobby farmer markets. One of our key focuses at the moment is exploring how we can incorporate electrification and autonomous applications into our products to further reduce the amount of work required for yard maintenance,” Deacon informs.
Above all, Agri-Fab is wholeheartedly dedicated to making its employees’ work lives more enjoyable and easier.“ In 2018, we
decided to invest in our Decatur distribution center to expand our assembly capacities. Decatur has a bigger population than Sullivan, so we were focused on recruiting a larger workforce from a broader pool. However, all components that go into the assembly of our products are still manufactured in our Sullivan site, which serves as a support system for our facility in Decatur. In the early 1990s, as a manufacturer in a town of 4,600 people, we aimed to offer quality, good-paying jobs to local families. The family unit is important to our employees, who are themselves part of our Agri-Fab family, and to us. This commitment led us to establish our Proto-Tykes daycare, providing affordable, reduced-cost daycare for our employees. This year, we broke ground on a new daycare center. Our current Proto-Tykes daycare is just under 5000 square feet, while the new center will be over 9000 square feet, enabling us to accommodate more of our employees’ children.
