What Regnerbau Calw GmbH does

Regnerbau Calw GmbH, trading as Perrot, is a German manufacturer of professional irrigation technology founded in 1925 and headquartered in Althengstett near Stuttgart. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Toro Company (NYSE: TTC), with a manufacturing subsidiary, Perrot-Polska Sp. z o.o., located in Ustroń, Poland. Perrot organizes its offering into three verticals: Sport (pop-up sprinklers and control systems for football pitches, golf courses, equestrian facilities, hockey fields, and tennis courts), Agriculture (impact sprinklers, quick-couplings, cardan shafts, pump units, and reel irrigation systems), and Industry (dust suppression stations, quick-coupling systems for construction and corrosive-media fluid transfer, plus aircraft de-icing water management).

The core product set comprises the TRITON/LVZ impact-driven pop-up sprinklers, the VP2/VP3 piston-driven pop-up sprinklers with up to 54 m spray radius, the HYDRA and AD series sprinklers, and a family of decoder-based control systems (WaterControl+SC, Satellite, Greenkeeper, CID) augmented by the recent Regulus controller (2025) with mobile-app remote control and Sirrah II (2022). The industrial side adds galvanized steel quick-couplings (sizes 50-216, working pressure up to 16 bar), stainless steel quick-couplings (Wst. 1.4404) in SUPRA and OPTIMA versions, the LVZE 22 HB aircraft de-icing sprinkler rated to -25°C, and full-service dust suppression stations. The Irritrol sub-brand extends the portfolio into residential and commercial controllers, spray heads, gear-driven sprinklers, valves, and accessories. Reference installations span St. Jakob Park Basel (UEFA Women's Euro 2025), Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup venues, Youth Olympics 2018 Buenos Aires, Zurich Airport de-icing, and multiple golf and equestrian facilities across Europe and the Middle East.

Perrot sells B2B globally through an authorized dealer network, with regional installation partners in Switzerland (Perrottet & Piller AG), the Netherlands (Aquaco B.V.), and the UK (MJ Abbott Limited), supported by a multi-language website (DE/EN/FR/ES/RU/PL/IT), a dealer locator tool, and direct sales via the Polish subsidiary. Pricing is per the company's price list valid at contract conclusion, with potential adjustments for deliveries more than four months out. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company operates as part of the Toro group, with data processing and whistleblower/legal infrastructure shared across entities.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Rain Bird Corporation: Global manufacturer of irrigation products for agriculture, golf, sports fields, and residential use. Direct competitor to Perrot in professional sport-turf and golf sprinklers, with overlapping product families in pop-up sprinklers and central control systems.
• Netafim: Global leader in drip and precision irrigation for agriculture, with growing presence in landscape and turf. Comparable to Perrot in agricultural irrigation inputs and increasingly in sports/agronomy, though differentiated by drip technology.
• Hunter Industries: Manufacturer of irrigation solutions for residential, commercial, and golf applications, including rotor sprinklers, central control systems and the Pilot Network Control Suite. Comparable to Perrot in sports-turf and golf irrigation, with a stronger software/cloud offering.
• Nelson Irrigation Corporation: Manufacturer of big-gun sprinklers, impact sprinklers and irrigation control products for agriculture, mining, and sports. Comparable to Perrot in pop-up and impact sprinklers, particularly in agriculture and large-area turf.

Broad incumbents

• The Toro Company: Perrot's NYSE-listed parent and a broad incumbent in turf, irrigation, and grounds maintenance. Overlaps with Perrot across golf and sports-field irrigation, plus adjacent equipment categories (mowers, snow removal) where Perrot does not compete.
• Lindsay Corporation: Manufacturer of center-pivot and lateral-move irrigation systems under the Zimmatic brand, plus infrastructure products. Comparable to Perrot in agricultural irrigation and field-control systems but at a much larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Valmont Industries: Producer of mechanized irrigation equipment (Valley brand) and infrastructure products serving agriculture, transportation, and telecommunications. Comparable to Perrot in agricultural sprinkler/irrigation systems though with a much larger diversified portfolio.

Regional players

• Ewing Irrigation & Landscape Supply: U.S.-focused distributor and supplier of irrigation, landscape, and golf-course products. Operates as a channel partner that resells brands like Perrot and Rain Bird, comparable in customer base rather than product manufacturing.

Emerging players

• K-Rain Manufacturing: Manufacturer of gear-driven rotors, spray sprinklers, valves, and controllers for residential, commercial, and light-commercial irrigation. Smaller and more U.S.-focused than Perrot, but directly comparable in product categories and target customer profiles.
• T-L Irrigation Company: Manufacturer of hydrostatically powered center-pivot and linear-move irrigation systems for agriculture. Comparable niche to Perrot in agricultural sprinklers and reel/trailing irrigation, though with a narrower product portfolio.
