The Irritec Group, founded in Sicily in 1974, is among the global leaders in precision irrigation. Irritec’s mission is to improve the efficiency of irrigation in agriculture and gardening while reducing environmental impact. Worldwide water scarcity and a growing demand for food necessitate the use of drip irrigation, for which Irritec is a global benchmark. Irritec designs, manufactures, and distributes complete products and systems for field irrigation, greenhouses, and the residential sector. The Irritec Group is present with 17 branches and over 1,000 employees in Italy, Algeria, Brazil, Chile, Germany, Morocco, Mexico, Peru, Senegal, Spain, and the United States.
In its commitment to eco-sustainability, the company launched the Green Fields project, which encourages farmers to properly dispose of plastic products after use, ensuring they have a second life. This initiative has made Irritec a leader in the circular economy. Innovation and sustainability have earned the company numerous international awards, as it caters to growers, distributors, and retailers while always striving for the best results and preserving the planet’s most precious resource: water.
In 2022, Irritec acquired the legal status of a Benefit Corporation, reaffirming its commitment to promoting values related to economic, social, and environmental sustainability in the agriculture and green spaces sectors. In 2024, the group celebrated an extraordinary milestone: its fiftieth year of activity.
