WHO WE ARE

Red E was founded in 2012 with a simple mission: help farmers get more life, performance, and reliability out of the equipment they already own.
 

What started as a small engineering firm quickly evolved into something bigger: a company dedicated to designing high-performance aftermarket solutions for air seeders, planters, and other agricultural equipment.
 

Today, Red E serves farmers across North America and around the world with engineering, parts, and full-service rebuild solutions designed to help them keep their equipment running better than new.

You will play an important role on the team, contributing where needed, taking ownership of your work, and helping set a positive, solutions-oriented example.
