Our Culture

Celebrating over 40 years of Manufacturing Excellence since 1975!

In 1975, an absentee employer closed the doors of a lawn and garden business that was an institution in Sullivan, Illinois. With the goal of restoring the jobs lost to the closure, many individuals pooled their resources to build a new company. In doing so, they continued not only a community tradition, but also a family one. The name Agri-Fab was based on the original mission, to do subcontract work for agricultural companies. At the start, Agri-Fab didn’t have a product line, but had good people with a lot of capability and experience. Today, Agri-Fab has grown into a leader in the Lawn and Garden marketplace with shipments reaching around the globe. As successful as Agri-Fab has become, the core goal has not changed, provide a reliable source of employment for the community.
