Netafim France, the world leader in micro-irrigation, is pursuing its partnerships-forming strategy by signing a collaboration agreement with the company Aqua4D, in order to optimise the use of water.
After having signed strategic agreements with Sencrop relating to frost protection techniques, the world leader in micro-irrigation, Netafim, entered into a strategic collaboration agreement in France with the Swiss company Aqua4D, which specialises in sustainable water management. As a result of the better penetration of water in the micropores of the soil, there will be a greater absorption of nutrients and a more efficient management of the salinity while using less water. Aqua4D’s water treatment technology will enrich the range of services offered by Netafim France by complementing its existing irrigation products (drip lines, sprinklers, filters, valves, meters…). For the farmers, the added value is twofold: saving water and agronomic gain. Fertilisation, crop protection and now water treatment: Netafim is improving the daily use of agricultural irrigation water within the complex of a changing climate.
According to Éric Valette, President and Managing Director of Aqua4D: “As the old saying goes: ‘If you want to move fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, move together’. In these challenging times, strategic partnerships can help companies stay one step ahead and pool their strengths for increased growth in the medium and long term We are excited about this new strategic partnership with NETAFIM France, which will help create more shared value, strengthen the deployment of our resource-efficient technologies and further enhance our contributions to sustainable development and climate change adaptation.”
According to Moshi Berenstein, President and Managing Director of Netafim France: “Our mission is to achieve the highest possible level of accuracy by combining our high-end solutions with the advanced complementary water treatment technologies offered by Aqua4D. With this partnership, Netafim’s latest irrigation projects will have the benefit of two of our latest technologies to ensure that our clients obtain the best possible results. The combination of our two offers is an important step in optimising the results obtained in each sector, taking into account the changing conditions and thus being better prepared for the years to come.”
