01 / Overview
Read the company as a system.
Stara traces its operating history to a repair and adaptation workshop founded in Não-Me-Toque, Rio Grande do Sul, in 1960 after the Stapelbroek family moved from the Netherlands to Brazil. The company, its product brand, dealer network, financing activity, and Argentine manufacturing operation have related but different organizational roles.
Current public material spans self-propelled sprayers and spreaders, planting equipment, soil and harvest implements, precision controllers, telemetry, synchronized machine work, and remote support. The English site describes a multi-country presence, but exact products, configurations, agronomic labels, communications services, support, and regulatory approvals vary by country.
02 / Brands
The identities users meet in the market.
Brand records sit between the parent company and individual product series. They preserve ownership context while allowing regional portfolios to be documented separately.

These links explain independent technology concepts. They do not assert that every brand, model, or market offering implements every feature.
Field application
Variable-rate application
Follow the chain from agronomic evidence and prescription through controller execution, as-applied evidence, and outcome review.
Variable Rate Technology →Application controlOverlap control
Understand the position, coverage, timing, plumbing, actuator, and verification layers behind section or nozzle shutoff.
Section Control →Machine guidanceMachine guidance
Separate correction delivery and steering control from route planning, application quality, obstacle handling, and operator responsibility.
Agricultural Auto-Guidance →Connected machineryTelemetry and remote support
Identify the data, connectivity, consent, service, and diagnosis boundaries behind manufacturer-connected support.
