Richard Klapholz, Rivulis CEO, commented: "As
mentioned during the deal announcement
last June, we are thrilled to have both companies join forces to build a long-lasting, purpose-led company, spearheading the transformation of agriculture through its focus on accessibility, innovation and sustainability. Since then, the employees of all companies have worked hard to jointly plan for this day, when we all become one company. Together, we will benefit from significant operational economies of scale
and far reaching in-the-field presence, enabling us to be close to growers and business partners. We will also benefit from the most comprehensive micro irrigation and digital farming offering and most importantly from a fully committed,
diverse employee base. I, wholeheartedly, welcome the
Jain USA, AVI, IDC and global NaanDanJain teams
and
am certain that, as one company, we will become a formidable force
as we
establish ourselves as a
global
irrigation and climate leader. Water-efficient, environmentally sustainable technologies, such as
micro irrigation, are needed to holistically address the global food and water security challenges. Together with our two shareholders, Temasek and Jain Irrigation, Rivulis' next chapter will be an exciting one as we realize our GROW BEYOND mission
to help growers achieve sustainable livelihoods
