It all started with hay
Novations AGL was founded in 2017 by two entrepreneurs: Germain Lefebvre, an agronomist, and Antoine Lefebvre, an entrepreneur and scientist. Their goal was clear from the start: make advanced technologies practical and accessible to essential sectors such as agriculture and food production. In 2019, we launched our first product, the AGL Dryer, designed to lower the moisture content of hay bales. Its internet-connected monitoring system lets producers check and analyze sensor data remotely, make better decisions and produce higher-quality hay. We then developed the AGL Meter and AGL Sensor, which serve a range of industries.
Since 2017
We first developed the AGL Dryer and AGL Meter for commercial hay producers. Responding to market needs, we then added the AGL Sensor to our range to offer effective solutions across more industries.
