SUSTAINABILITY IN PRACTICE

Engineering a more efficient use of water.

Every drop of water matters in agriculture. At Komet, we engineer irrigation components that help growers apply water more precisely, reduce resource waste and maintain reliable performance under real field conditions.

OUR CONTRIBUTIONAgriculture accounts for around 72% of global freshwater withdrawals. With growing pressure on water resources, how water is applied matters more than ever. Komet develops irrigation components designed for uniform water distribution and reliable performance. By improving how water reaches the crop, we help growers reduce unnecessary losses and make more effective use of available resources. That is where our contribution begins – and where continuous engineering makes a difference.

Water stewardship

More precise water application. Less unnecessary loss.

Water efficiency depends on consistent application across the field. Komet develops irrigation components designed to improve distribution, limit unnecessary water losses and perform reliably under changing conditions.

We are also focusing more closely on markets where water resources are under the greatest pressure.

Energy efficiency

Reliable performance with fewer inputs.

Irrigation pressure influences energy demand. We are investigating how sprinkler performance can be maintained at lower operating pressures, helping identify opportunities to reduce energy requirements without compromising water application.

Within our own operations, we continue to improve energy monitoring and efficiency.

Innovation and measurement

Better data. Better engineering decisions.

At the Komet Experience Hub in Brazil, we are building a deeper understanding of how irrigation components perform under different operating conditions.

Controlled testing and performance data help our engineers identify opportunities to improve water distribution, product design and technical recommendations.

Responsible business

Strengthening the business behind our products.

Reliable products depend on reliable processes and people. We are improving how we manage emissions, product quality, workplace safety, supplier standards and governance.

Our focus is on practical improvements that support long-term performance and responsible growth.

FROM IMPACT TO INNOVATION

Turning measurement into better irrigation.

Understanding how products perform is essential to improving them.

In 2026, Komet is building on its engineering expertise through new testing capabilities, digital tools and continuous product development.

The Experience Hub is an important part of this work. By measuring water distribution, flow, application radius and droplet characteristics, we are developing insights that can inform future product improvements and customer applications.

The aim is straightforward: understand performance more deeply, then use that knowledge to make irrigation more efficient.

GROWING WHERE WATER STRESS IS GREATEST

Taking our expertise where water matters most.

The need for efficient irrigation is especially important in regions facing increasing water scarcity.

Together with Trill Impact, Komet identified 18 priority countries where water stress, irrigated agricultural area and commercial potential are closely aligned.

From 2024 to 2025, our pivot-related product volumes increased by 48% across these selected markets.

This is a measure of commercial growth, not a direct measure of water savings. It is an early indication that Komet is strengthening its presence in regions where efficient water application has particular relevance.

CONTINUOUS PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT

Durability begins with the details.

Every component must perform under demanding conditions – from prolonged UV exposure to challenging water quality.

Our new Polymer Base for Komet Guns uses a UV-stabilized, glass-fiber reinforced engineering polymer. It is designed to resist corrosion and chemical exposure while reducing weight and supporting long-term reliability.

This is how we approach product development: by continuously improving the details that influence performance, maintenance and service life.
