THE FOUNDER

Alexander Conrad has been an independent engineer and expert for the international agricultural market for more than 20 years. Due to his unique career and professional experience in agriculture, he knows the different perspectives of an operator, mechanic and engineering developer.

An early passion leads to a profession

Growing up on a farm in Germany, Alexander started gaining a deep knowledge about agriculture early on. Following his passion he became a machinist and a mechanic by trade completing an apprenticeship in rural Germany. Afterwards he graduated as a mechanical engineer from the University of Applied Sciences in Cologne, Germany with a focus on agricultural technologies.

The Start of Conrad Agrar Consulting

After successfully graduating as a mechanical engineer with the young age of 25, he spent several years working in product management, engineering and field testing, what granted Alexander an extensive experience within the process of product development of agricultural machineries. In February 2018 Alexander founded ConradAgrarConsulting in the heart of California to become the leading source of advice for product development and field testing for German speaking agricultural machine manufacturers and their suppliers.
Carrying this idea around for over ten years, the final impulse to start the firm and his own engineering business in the United States came throughout his „Bike the Ag-world“-travels across North America on a motorcycle.
