Hunter Industries
has acquired all landscape irrigation products, patents and trademarks from Alex-Tronix Controls of Fresno, Calif.
Alex-Tronix has provided irrigation controller technology for the commercial landscape and agricultural irrigation industries since 1977.
“For more than 30 years, George Alexanian and Alex-Tronix have developed innovations in control technology that have advanced water conservation,” says Greg Hunter, president of Hunter Industries. “This strategic acquisition will allow Hunter to broaden the coverage of our intellectual property in this very important segment of the commercial market. Further, it will allow Hunter to improve upon our existing products and expand our product offering.”
“Purchasing our landscape irrigation business will allow Hunter Industries to leverage their core strengths in the development, production and sales of irrigation control products by continuing to offer innovations in smart water technology,” says George Alexanian, president of Alex-Tronix. “Alex-Tronix will continue to focus on delivering and developing innovative products to our agricultural irrigation customers.”
Alexanian says the company sees this as an opportunity to expand its core agricultural controller business and help its farmers conserve water during the drought.
