HORSCH: tillage, seeding and Leeb sprayers
HORSCH tillage equipment, Pronto drills, Maestro planters and Leeb sprayers with BoomControl, plus EUR 1.08 billion group turnover in 2025.
HORSCH is a German family-owned manufacturer of tillage, seeding and crop protection machinery for different field production systems.
Germany · Privately held family-owned company
HORSCH supplies machinery for soil preparation, grain drilling, precision planting and crop protection. The privately held, family-owned company is based in Schwandorf, Germany, and operates internationally through manufacturing, sales and partner networks. Its business combines mechanical working systems with control technologies, and its crop protection side includes Leeb spraying equipment, which forms part of the HORSCH offering rather than a separate corporate group.
The range makes most sense when viewed alongside a farm's production system, including residue management, the number of passes and the scheduling of operations. Different machines suit different soils, crops and weather windows, and no single machine fits every soil type and cropping plan. Mechanical design and control technology work together across the range, as in BoomControl, which guides the sprayer boom during application.
Size of the business
HORSCH reported group turnover of EUR 1.08 billion in 2025.
Should HORSCH and Leeb be counted as independent groups?
No. Leeb technologies form part of HORSCH's offering, so Leeb is not a separate corporate group.
Does automatic boom guidance replace nozzle selection?
No. Boom height and stability are part of the application process, but nozzles, pressure, travel speed, weather conditions and treatment requirements still matter.
