Irtec S.p.A.
Our aim is to design and manufacture irrigators whose performance enables higher crop productivity and a systematic reduction of water dispersion. Our position as an international player in the industry is the sum of consistent investment over time and market results achieved by our product lines. In our vision, agricultural irrigation before being a market is a necessity. The values that move our organization are borrowed from a few simple concepts that we call pillars. That`s why anyone who buys an IRTEC machine knows that they are getting a superior, solid, long-lasting product that holds no surprises. If over forty years in the business were not enough to prove this, our global network of retailers adds further value.

About Us
We guarantee the consistency and characteristics that only the manufacturer can give you.
On the market, you will find a plurality of proposals and a seesaw of prices. We believe that the best advertising is our irrigator working in your field, being put to the test by the irrigation activities of the season.
For many IRTEC is synonymous with quality, innovation, and reliability. Here's why.
Technology, range, and service: the irrigation you want is all here
The mechanics of our products allow them to operate at low pressure and minimum flow rate, while the technologically advanced accessories guarantee water and energy savings, through the planning of work cycles, even remotely, via satellite systems.
The punctual and timely after-sales service is the final link with the customer that confirms their centrality in our production cycle.
Made in Italy, a friend of agriculture
We have invested time and resources in the design and improvement of our machines and accessories. We have given them the floor so that they can speak to you by adding electronics and bringing them into the digital realm. The ultimate goal is to deliver irrigators that offer ever better performance for:
- the use of water;
- the time of use of the systems;
- the costs per work cycle.
It is thanks to the study of the best mechanical, electronic and IT solutions that our products can now boast the best performance on the market: low costs and maximum capacity.
We anticipate farmers' demands by using technological innovation as a solution and support for their work.
Values
Integrity
One's professional life mirrors one's personal life; being part of IRTEC means participating with transparency, honesty, and responsibility in a common project.
Passion
Every day the confrontation is on multiple tables, and our work leads us to produce solutions that affect people and the environment. This excites us. Passion is a chromosome that is abundant in our DNA.
Concreteness and practicality
In the plurality of our stakeholders, they stand out: the farmers. Their questions are always clear, uncluttered and straight to the point. They expect answers in the same tone.
Global IRTEC
Italian heart, soul, and mind with an eye towards international scenarios.
Statistically, the irrigator that comes off the IRTEC production line has only a 15% chance of being used to distribute water on national soil.
That's why anyone who buys an IRTEC machine knows that they are getting a superior, solid, long-lasting product that holds no surprises. If over forty years in the business were not enough to prove this, our global network of retailers adds further value.
Our History
Since we began, the irrigation sector has changed. And with-it farmers and their way of working.
We are amongst the architects of that change.
IRTEC has contributed to writing important pages of the technological evolution of agricultural irrigation. Whereby 'technological' we also mean attention to water consumption, precision in irrigation and the protection of the most precious resource we have.
1978
From the beginning strong in Italy, even stronger abroad.
IRTEC builds the first self-propelled irrigator close to the beginning of the 1980s. Few of them were seen in the countryside, but it was a revolutionary product and requests also travel by telex.
1990
Electronics appear.
Easy RAIN is a computer that facilitates work in the fields by providing a series of data, alerts, and automatic interventions in the event of malfunctions in the irrigation system. It can also be programmed to manage the speed of rewinding the hose and set work downtime or reset based on water pressure.
2010
Here is the IRTEC Quality System
The design, manufacture and assistance of irrigation machines and systems for agriculture. This is stated in the UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certificate delivered by TÜV. More than a goal, a confirmation.
2018
Systems are added to the offer
Self-propelled irrigators, spray booms and motor pumps receive reinforcements. They are the Pivot, Linear and Hippodrome systems. The IRTEC range crosses another frontier of agricultural irrigation and is more complete than ever.
2019
The digital era of irrigation begins.
The digital era interrupts the reasoning that each single machine does a job as if it were blind. Now it is an integrated system in the hands of the farmer, who receives data, and an artificial intelligence translates this data into information to be put into practice. Irrigators, motor pumps, pivots, everything is connected and comes into operation with the swipe of a finger. Digital Irrigation has arrived, and nothing will be the same again.
2020
A race without obstacles.
IRTEC reaches 20 million euro in revenue. The best result ever.
2022
The post-pandemic era
The fluctuating trend in raw materials, and the logistical difficulties due to the subsequent lockdowns at a global level, were an opportunity for IRTEC to demonstrate, once again, proximity to its distribution network. Combined with strategic foresight in managing the moment
2023
IRTEC and Carlyle
IRTEC Irrigation comes under the control of investment company Carlyle following the acquisition of a majority stake in OCMIS Group. It is a time of consolidation and strategic planning in preparation for a new leap forward.
