Rivulis opens new factory in Mexico

Rivulis, a provider of micro irrigation solutions headquartered in Gvat, Israel, is expanding its North American footprint with the establishment of a new, state-of-the-art factory in Tijuana, Mexico. The new facility will allow for the needed capacity expansion to better serve the strategic North American agricultural market and also for streamlining its North American manufacturing capacity.

The plant will be located a few minutes south of the San Diego border and a few miles from Rivulis’ North American headquarters in San Diego, California, where Rivulis will maintain its management, quality, global engineering and R&D teams. The plant is ideally located to address Rivulis’ key markets in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

“This multi-million-dollar investment highlights our long-term commitment to the North American market,” says Fabien Kelbert, president of Rivulis North America. “Rivulis is poised to continue to grow and to become the premier drip irrigation solutions provider in North America and beyond. We are committed to our corporate mission of making micro irrigation accessible to growers and to helping them grow beyond.”

The new Rivulis factory is central to the Rivulis business and global footprint strategy and applies the same high-quality standards and innovative manufacturing processes.

“We believe by bolstering our capacity and by adding state-of-the art innovative technologies in manufacturing, we will be better positioned to serve our customers, increasing our availability and making our product more accessible to all growers in North America and beyond,” says Kelbert.
