Almaco

Founded in 1876 as Allan’s Blacksmith and Welding, ALMACO is the oldest business in Story County. Since the 1970’s, we have been innovating and manufacturing custom equipment for our clients’ seed research needs – not only in the field, but wherever their research takes them. We offer a family-business working atmosphere that encourages autonomy and creativity while delivering results in the workplace. We take pride that our talented employees work to constantly improve our products and processes.

At ALMACO, we believe in the importance of building a stronger, more sustainable agricultural industry. This is rooted in the belief that seed holds opportunity.

To achieve this, ALMACO provides seed research companies and land grant universities with innovative, exceptionally-engineered, and high-quality solutions for their work.

Our equipment enables our clients to make advancement decisions to determine what seeds are the best quality, most nutrient dense, and have the greatest yield potential. That seed is marketed to farmers who then plant, cultivate, and harvest it to meet the world’s growing needs for food, fuel, and fiber.

While our clients focus their efforts on advancing the potential in every seed, our team works tirelessly to exceed expectations through the products we create, the total solutions we provide, and our unwavering commitment to service.

Our integrity is demonstrated through our honest business practices and mutual respect for all – which leads to long-term and trusting relationships. Our diligence is shown in our vigorous pursuit of our mission and goals, our constant attention to potential risks, and our acceptance to change to ensure an ongoing and successful business. Our reputation for quality products and service is earned by what we do and how we do it.

These three values guide our work each day. Our customers know they can count on the honesty and fairness of ALMACO, and on the high quality of our people, service, and products.
