1960
The history of Maquinaria Agrícola SOLÀ began with Andreu Solà, the son of a blacksmith with an entrepreneurial spirit and a natural interest in the development of agricultural equipment. He started with the manufacture of shovels, trailed fertilizer spreaders and the first seed drills. He sells them locally.

1960
The first seed drills are sold on the Spanish market, actively participating in the mechanisation of the agricultural field.

1971
The workshop is moved to a new location (on "carretera llarga" in Calaf) and Maquinaria Agrícola Solà, S.L. is founded.

1975
The facilities that will house the factory until the present day are purchased. This new location allows easier access to the railway and lorries for the delivery and distribution of the products.

1980
Development of the Supersem 680 model with 2 rows of sowing arms. The seed is transmitted mechanically by means of cast iron pinions. Export begins at this time, firstly to Mexico.

1988
Euro 888, the seeder that incorporates a cultivator with levelling bar, stands out. It sows with boots for greater precision and ends up with a track that buries the seeds.

This model gave rise to the slogan that would accompany SOLÀ to the present day: The well done sowing.

1992
The first direct seed drill with coulters (then a novelty in Spain) was created, the SUPER 992 model being the result of collaboration with MONSANTO.

A few years earlier, exports to Morocco and Algeria began in order to mechanise the North African market.

1994
Andreu Solà retires, leaving the position to one of his sons, Jordi Solà.
The last machine developed by Andreu is the TRI 194 and TRI 294 - models that are still being sold today.

1996
Andreu Solà passes away and Jordi Solà`s management is consolidated.
At the same time, SOLÀ takes over the Lamusa brand and becomes part of the SOLÀ Group.

1997
Jordi Solà`s FEMAC Foundation as a founding member.

2003
The Prosem line is born. The single-grain seed drills increase precision as the seed is dropped into the furrow one at a time.

The development of Prosem is carried out in collaboration with the engineer Alfredo Turchetto.

2012
Omnia, the first Prosem model that allows the width between lines to be varied from 45 to 75 cm. This model received multiple awards for innovation. A year later, the trailed Vesta and Ares models for cereal sowing were launched

2015
Introduction of the Aura model, the pressurised front hopper that can deliver grain or fertilizer.

2018
After almost 8 years of evolutions of the first electrical system with ISOBUS, the Elektra system is born. This will allow the incorporation of technological tools capable of controlling seed drills easily, precisely and intuitively from the tractor cab. It will be adaptable to precision planters and cereal seed drills.

2021
SOLÀ celebrates 50 years since the foundation of Maquinaria Agrícola SOLÀ, S.L. Take the opportunity to take a portrait of the entire staff.

Nowadays
After several years knowing the different areas of the company, Ginevra Solà, Jordi`s daughter, has taken on the position of assistant manager.
SOLÀ is working on a new range of high-speed precision seed drills.

It currently has distributors in more than 30 countries. It participates in the FIMA fair in Zaragoza, INNOV-AGRI in France, Agritechnica in Germany and Agriplanta in Romania.

Nowadays SOLÀ exports 60% of its production, and at the moment it is gaining position in the Eastern markets: Romania, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan,...
