Eduardo Carrilo , CEO of rieggo, expressed optimism about their joint future: " With the acquisition of IrriVan, we strengthen our market position and accelerate our growth plan. This collaboration allows us to integrate the best of both companies, combining efforts to enhance water management efficiency and agricultural yield. I am excited to work together and leverage our synergies to offer comprehensive solutions that meet our clients' needs and address the global challenge of sustainable water use ."
