Irrigation Components International

What Irrigation Components International does

Irrigation Components International, Inc. (ICII) is a private US corporation headquartered in Daphne, Alabama, founded in 1984. The company is the world's largest independent distributor of center pivot irrigation components and spare parts, serving dealers, regional distributors, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). ICII operates three internal divisions: Hydrus Controls, a UL-listed manufacturer of center pivot control panels and tower boxes with over 40 years of operating history; ICI Gears, a power transmission and gear product line with 30+ years of market knowledge; and FarmLand Fabrication, which provides custom fabrication solutions alongside Hydrus. The product catalog spans pivot points, fabricated fittings, main panels, tower controls, gearboxes, centerdrives, sprinkler packages, conversion kits, flow meters, fittings, valves, tires, wheels, and assorted electrical components, sourced both from third-party suppliers (SoundWater, Hidroconta, US Motors, Senninger, Hunter Industries, Honeywell, Gheen, and others) and produced in-house. Five US regional offices (Daphne AL, Tifton GA, Lubbock TX, American Falls ID, Grand Island NE) plus international offices in Australia and Brazil support sales into more than 50 countries across the Middle East, Africa, South America, Central America, Eastern Europe, and Oceania.

The business model is B2B hardware distribution and light contract manufacturing, with revenue generated through the resale of catalog components and the sale of proprietary control panels and tower boxes. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per customer, with no publicly disclosed list pricing. GTM is a direct channel-partner model: regional sales teams call on irrigation equipment dealers for parts and retrofits, on regional distributors for catalog replenishment, and on OEM manufacturers for custom control panel design and engineering support. The company is a member of the Irrigation Association and was recognized in its 2021 New Product Contest for three new product introductions. The company is privately held, with a 2012 investment from Prospect Partners, and operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range based on public firmographic data.
