Founded
Established in 1952 by Roland Drechsel in Bolzano, Italy, laying the foundation for decades of irrigation innovation and engineering excellence.
Engineered in Austria, Trusted Worldwide. Since 1952.
Since 1952, Komet has focused exclusively on delivering high-performance irrigation components. From our roots in Europe to our work with growers, dealers, and OEMs worldwide, we focus on one thing: dependable water application built on sound engineering, careful manufacturing, and practical field knowledge.
From 1952 to todayFounded in 1952, Komet helped shape the development of mechanized irrigation at a time when the industry was still in its early stages. Over the decades, that early engineering spirit has grown into a global company known for irrigation components that are built to last, designed for even water application, and shaped by what growers and partners actually face in the field.
What drives us
We start with field problems, not product claims
Growers do not irrigate on paper. They irrigate in wind, heat, changing soils, tight labor windows, and rising input costs.
That is where Komet starts. Our job is to develop components that help deliver stable application, dependable operation, and practical serviceability in real working conditions.
How we work
Austrian engineering backed by modern production and strict quality checks
Komet designs and manufactures irrigation components in Austria. State-of-the-art machinery, structured processes, and strict quality checks are part of how we work every day.
The aim is simple: components that perform consistently, fit reliably, and stand up to long operating seasons.
How we improve
We learn from customers, test thoroughly, and keep refining
Good irrigation components are not developed in isolation. They are improved through listening, testing, and repeated validation in the field.
KOMET reports prototype testing on 45 pivot systems across 5 continents as part of its quality control approach. That feedback loop helps turn field experience into better design decisions.
Built on engineering precision, partnerships, and understanding of real-world irrigation challenges.
