Agriculture

As the global population increases, irrigation will probably play a critical role in meeting future food demand. Approximately 40% of global food production is from irrigated croplands. In addition, over 90% of humanity’s consumptive water use is used for irrigated agricultural production (WorldBank 2024)

At Maillefer, we develop manufacturing systems for durable and affordable micro-drip irrigation tubes. Configurations are available for cylindrical and flat drippers as well as thin and thick wall constructions. All components are available from a single source and offer a fully integrated solution.

Micro-drip irrigation tube – rapid rupture response

With its most recent micro-drip irrigation extrusion line, PIL // Explore, Maillefer continues to build -in innovative solutions that improve ease of use and augment performance.

The promise of micro-drip irrigation

Several criteria condition the type of micro-drip pipe to produce, like market situation, its readiness to adopt a modern irrigation technique, crop requirements and local climate, available raw materials and dripper designs, investment budget, and the performance targets are some of the points to consider.
