Komet irrigation launches new department and experience hub to support farmers globally
Brazil becomes the focal point for cutting-edge irrigation solutions and real-time farm insights.
AUSTRIA – Komet Irrigation, the Austrian multinational known for precision sprinkler and end-gun solutions for pivot irrigation, has announced a significant investment to expand its technological capabilities and global impact.
The company has launched a new Application Engineering & Digital Systems department in Brazil, supported by a state-of-the-art facility, the Komet Experience Hub.
The department, led by irrigation expert Gustavo Hossri, aims to provide farmers worldwide with advanced tools for real-time monitoring and predictive irrigation.
“The future of global agriculture will inevitably be shaped by advances in irrigation, and application technology will play a central role in this change. Our laboratory was designed with this purpose in mind: to establish new technological foundations, develop reliable metrics, and improve the irrigation sector’s precision, efficiency, and intelligent operation,” Hossri explains.
The Komet Experience Hub, located in Paulínia, São Paulo state, combines testing, training, and demonstration capabilities. It houses a sprinkler performance lab, on-site training for engineers and growers, and diagnostic tools for real-time system monitoring.
Antonio Pires de Camargo, former professor and head of the Hydraulics and Irrigation Laboratory at Unicamp, adds, “The Komet Experience Hub represents the meeting point between scientific knowledge and the real needs of the field. Even though it operates from Brazil, the experience we gather here will resonate far beyond, contributing to the evolution of irrigation worldwide.”
Global reach from a local hub
Komet has seen its presence in Brazil grow significantly over the past seven years, capturing around 35 percent of the local pivot sprinkler market. “Brazil is a key market for us, but the innovations we develop here are designed for global use. The insights and solutions will support irrigation efficiency worldwide,” says Hossri.
The company’s solutions target critical challenges in agriculture, including climate change, water scarcity, and rising input costs. By enabling higher yields through precise irrigation, better water management, and year-round cultivation, farmers can maximize productivity on available land.
“Our approach combines global engineering standards with local expertise. Sustainability and profitability go hand in hand. We provide farmers with the tools, data, and training to adapt to changing conditions while improving results, whether in Brazil, North America, or anywhere else in the world,” Hossri adds.
A major launch event for the department and Experience Hub is scheduled for April 2026, with government officials, academic experts, farmers, media, and partners in attendance.
Grain output in Brazil is projected to exceed 330 million tons in 2025, while ethanol production nears 30 billion liters, underscoring the importance of reliable irrigation solutions.
Komet’s expanded capabilities in Brazil position the country as a global center for irrigation innovation, sharing insights and data across the company’s international network.
