Agrosemillas is one of Spain’s youngest seed companies, but its trajectory has been anything but slow.
Founded in 2016, the company moved quickly through its early learning phase and into rapid growth. That momentum is what first brought Agrosemillas and Cimbria together, and it’s what continues to drive their collaboration today.
Recently, Agrosemillas launched Green Series, an ambitious project designed to support the rising demand for cover crops in woody plantations across the Iberian Peninsula.
As tree crops expand and herbaceous crops decline, soil management has become a critical factor for long‑term sustainability. Agrosemillas saw an opportunity to innovate, and Cimbria became a key partner in making that vision real, both building Europe’s first dedicated Brachypodium cover crop processing plant in Iberia.
Building Europe’s First Brachypodium Cover Crop Line From Zero
Green Series required a complete rethink of how cover crops are developed, processed and delivered. Agrosemillas began by researching species that could support healthy soil in tree plantations. Their work led them to Brachypodium, a species with ideal characteristics for vegetative cover and native to the Iberian Peninsula and the wider Mediterranean basin.
But identifying the right species was only the beginning. Agrosemillas needed to select and register new varieties, learn how to domesticate them in the field, and build industrial processes capable of handling this complex crop. This is where Cimbria stepped in.
Because Agrosemillas’s new plant is the only industrial facility in Europe focused on Brachypodium cover crops, it needed much more than equipment. It needed engineering vision, a precise design, and a partner like Cimbria willing to build something that had never existed before.
Together, the Cimbria team and Agrosemillas successfully built a facility ready for the complexity of Brachypodium and the demands of modern soil management systems. The equipment was selected specifically for the behavior of specialty cover crops, including Cimbria’s de-awner, Delta cleaner, indented cylinder, flow controller, and a mixer silo.
Each solution is interconnected, creating a controlled, predictable and gentle processing flow — exactly what is needed to industrialize a nontraditional crop and deliver the quality needed for the Green Series project.
The plant now delivers:
- Strong, consolidated industrial processes built for a nontraditional crop
- High product consistency through precise cleaning, sorting and mixing
- Near complete automation for safe, efficient daily operation
- Integration across four installations, each with its own workflow
- Scalable capacity, moving from 20,000 tons to 30,000 tons with ease
But the collaboration wasn’t simple. Integrating this multi-solution installation, aligning workflows and meeting tight timelines required precision, trust, and shared ambition. Yet the result is a facility that delivers efficiency, flexibility, and the quality Agrosemillas’ customers expect.
A Partnership Built on Trust and Shared Values
For Agrosemillas, choosing Cimbria again was straightforward. The relationship is built on confidence, transparency, and a shared commitment to quality. Working side by side with Cimbria’s design team allowed Agrosemillas to shape a plant that reflects its identity: agile, versatile, and ready for the future.
For customers, the new installation represents not only increased capacity, but also better service, higher quality, and a clear signal that the company is investing in long-term value.
Positioning for the Future of Spain’s Seed Market
Spain’s crop landscape is changing fast, and Agrosemillas is positioning itself ahead of that shift. The rise of woody crops, the need for specialized soil‑management solutions, and the growing demand for high‑quality cover crops are reshaping expectations across the sector.
With Cimbria’s support, Agrosemillas now has the infrastructure, technology, and operational strength to meet that demand with confidence. The new plant gives the company the capacity to scale, the automation to work efficiently, and the process control needed to deliver consistent quality across its Green Series line.
At the same time, Agrosemillas continues to invest in its team, building the talent and expertise required to support long‑term growth. New projects are already underway, each designed to introduce more innovation, more capability and more value to the agri‑food sector.
Cimbria is proud to support Agrosemillas as it strengthens the future of sustainable agriculture in Spain.
