The company began its activities by manufacturing plastic blinds and two years later went into manufacturing irrigation pipes. The company now manufactures the largest variety of products for the irrigation and water sector –irrigation pipes, drip irrigation components, filters, valves and fittings. Irritec was the first to manufacture driplines in Italy. Giulia's father, Carmelo, is in charge of the R&D development, and to date has registered and continues to register patents in this field. The company currently sells its products in over 100 countries throughout the world. Giulia talks enthusiastically about the company's new product, eXXtreme tape, that permits drip irrigation with filtering. She emphasizes that just recently the results of this product's laboratory test, conducted in a California university, were received. During the test the dripline withstood 70 mesh (approx.0.2mm) sand media without undergoing any occlusion. However, Irritec Giulia concludes by stating the two outstanding advantages of the new product: First, its suitability and accessibility for use in areas without excellent water filtering, meaning that use of this product allows efficient water consumption, permitting work even in locations that lack advanced technology for water treatment. The two advantages of the new product complement each other, contributing to the trend toward sustainability and the important effort to reach "ZeroHunger" by 2030. |
