AGRIPITO
HISTORY
Agripito is our logo and main figure. When he was created in the 70’s, Agripito carried a CP3 pump on his back, but over the years, he has undergone transformations, including changes in his colors and clothing.
In 2007 we decided to remove the pump from his back because Agripito is more than just a farmer; he is a satisfied customer, a technical advisor, a friend who gives confidence to producers.
In essence, he is a symbol of progress in our company. The logo and slogan also follow these changes. The new slogan “Sembramos Confianza” (“We Sow Confidence”) accompanies the logo, which inspires projection into the future.
