Jacto in Argentina - Almost forty years of good services
The year was 1963. Jacto was shipping its products abroad for the first time. The fact was a great feat and deserved a suitable commemoration. Country of destination: Argentina.
Since then, until now, Jacto has always been present in Argentina, taking to local farmers an important contribution to the increase in productivity of the farming sector.

Manual knapsack sprayers were the first products to be exported to Argentina, while sprayers mounted on tractors started to have a significant market as of 1973.
Due to strong affinity between the people, culture and farming practices of Argentina and Brazil, Jacto sprayers have been perfectly satisfying the needs of Argentinean farmers, without any need for adaptation or modification to the products exported.

In Argentina, most farmers who use the most advanced farming techniques presently available own a Jacto sprayer. Jacto products offer to Argentinean farmers great benefits due to their superior quality and durability, low maintenance costs, fewer moving parts and safe and accurate application of agrochemicals, using state of the art technology, which gives them a high resale value.

Partnership
In the 80's Rohm and Haas was consolidated as Jacto's main importer, as they started the professionally demanding task of the introduction of boom sprayers in Argentina, Jacto made an association with Pulbaires in 1989. The site chosen to house the new company was San Miguel located in Greater Buenos Aires. In 1992, Jacto bought the shares of its Argentinean partner, and changed the name of the company to Multijacto. This was Jacto's first foreign subsidiary, established in the same country to which the first export had been made.

In 1995, Multijacto acquired in Arrecifes a property with 17,730 sq.m., having 1,350 sq.m. of built area, where it is presently installed with the purpose of serving better its clients.

Multijacto endeavours to offer high quality products at fair prices, with excellent technical support. Jacto offers a complete and well developed range of manual and motorized knapsack sprayers, and tractor mounted and trailed boom and air blast sprayers, in order to meet the needs of individual markets worldwide.
Jacto in Brazil is one of the few fully integrated industries in the world that manufactures such a complete range of agricultural sprayers, and at the same time develops and produces most of its own components, such as spraying pumps, filters, nozzles, nozzle holders, tanks, controls etc: most of its competitors acquire local and imported parts from various outside suppliers, and merely assemble their products.
