Forigo Roter Italia

The company Roter Italia began its commercial activity in 1972, when the Forigo brothers manufactured the first rotary harrow in their small facility in Salizzole, in the province of Verona. Later, the headquarters was moved to a much larger area (25,000 sqm) in Ostiglia (MN), where it is currently located.

Family tradition since 1972

The name Roter Italia comes directly from the rotary harrow: “Roter” refers to the rotating tools that break up the soil, and “Italia” identifies the country of origin for the machinery production. All Roter Italia products are branded and distributed under the FORIGO trademark and are divided into two product lines for soil preparation:

historical line for the agricultural sector: rotary harrows, tillers/fresators, shredders, defoliators

special line for the horticultural, gardening, and specialty crop sectors: stone buriers, bed formers, ridge formers, ridgers, mulchers, sterilizing machines for the distribution of solid and liquid fumigants.
