Brazil was selected because of its advanced agricultural sector, skilled agronomists and engineers, diverse operating environments and relevance to some of the world’ s most productive farming systems.

The knowledge generated at the facility will be shared through Komet’ s global network to support growers and partners worldwide.

The centre will generate insights into sprinkler performance, component wear, irrigation efficiency and system optimisation. Future digital tools and diagnostic systems will also help producers base irrigation decisions on measurable evidence.

BEYOND IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT

The investment reflects a broader development in Komet’ s approach to innovation. In addition to developing sprinkler technology, the company is expanding into diagnostics, performance intelligence, digital services and data-driven decision support.

Future solutions developed by the division will help customers understand irrigation system performance, improve operational efficiency and make more informed long-term decisions.

The fully operational Experience Hub is already generating irrigation performance data for growers and partners worldwide.

As agriculture works to feed a growing population while managing increasingly complex environmental challenges, Groos believes water will become one of the sector’ s most strategic resources. www. kometirrigation. com / en
