About Strahl
Strahl has been producing grain dryers since 1966.
From Villorba, in Treviso, where it was founded and where it maintains its operational and production roots, Strahl has, over time, become a global leader in the sector, with thousands of dryers produced and dozens of markets served the world over.
Its capacity for innovation, customisation, reliability and meticulous attention to after-sales service are the factors that have allowed the company to build a solid international reputation; Strahl is now the European leader in the grain dryers sector, with more than 80% of production destined for the foreign market and ceaseless expansion towards new markets.
The recent acquisition of the mobile dryer brand Agrimec, which has been integrated into the company structure, has allowed Strahl to further implement a complete and flexible product portfolio.
Strahl constantly invests in digital innovation and ecologically sustainable research, drawing on the most advanced tools in terms of agricultural technology.
