New Ecorobotix Investment Supports Jobs Innovation and Advanced Farming Solutions Nationwide

Ecorobotix is increasing its investment in the United States by launching production of its precision sprayer in Lyons, Kansas. The company plans to invest $50 million over the next three years to support this expansion. 

The production of the ARA Ultra High Precision Sprayer is taking place with the help of KMW. This partnership supports strong manufacturing processes and helps the company meet the needs of American farmers more effectively. 

The project is expected to create more than 80 jobs, supporting local communities and strengthening the agricultural workforce. This growth also adds to the company’s global team, showing its strong commitment to innovation and development. 

"Over the next three years, Ecorobotix will invest $50 million to expand U.S. operations and deliver our Swiss-engineered ultra-high precision agriculture technology to American farmers," said Dominique Mégret. "Assembling the ARA in Kansas strengthens our commitment to the U.S. market and allows us to work closely with American partners to ensure our technology meets the needs of growers across the country." 

The ARA sprayer uses advanced sensors and artificial intelligence to detect crops and weeds. It sprays only the required areas, helping farmers save money and reduce chemical use. This supports better environmental practices while maintaining strong crop results. 

Ecorobotix is also building partnerships with universities in the United States. These collaborations aim to improve the company’s plant by plant technology and develop better solutions for different farming conditions. 

The expansion highlights the growing importance of smart farming tools that help farmers improve productivity while managing rising costs.
