What driptech irrigation does

DripTech Irrigation is a Zimbabwe-based, family-owned irrigation and water-management company founded in 1995 that supplies equipment, design, installation, and after-sales technical support to agricultural, industrial, and domestic customers. Its core product set spans drip irrigation, centre pivot, overhead and micro-jet systems, a full range of pumps (borehole, submersible, booster, de-watering, mining, and firefighting), pipes, filters and fittings, borehole equipment, and generators. The company operates an 11-branch retail network across Zimbabwe (8 branches in Harare plus Mutare, Bulawayo, and Marondera), supplemented by an online shop for direct tank and silo orders.

Underlying the retail and distribution business is a vertically integrated manufacturing capability at the DripTech Tank Factory in Harare, where Jumbo Tanks and Dura Silo grain storage units are produced using blow-mould technology with food-grade high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in 1000L, 2000L, and 5000L capacities. DripTech is also a multi-brand distributor carrying Netafim, DAB, OTECH, K-Rain, Naandanjain, Rivulis, TESLA, and several other branded irrigation and water-equipment lines, allowing it to function as a one-stop provider rather than a single-OEM reseller.

The business model combines hardware sales (tanks, silos, pumps, pipes, filters, generators) with professional services — design, installation, and technical support — delivered through a direct field-sales/project division (Pivots & Projects) and the branch retail network. Pricing is in USD, with tanks retailing at $105–$125 (1000L), $165–$185 (2000L), and $345 (5000L). The company serves three primary verticals: agriculture (the dominant segment, spanning smallholders to commercial farms), urban/residential water (borehole, storage, pressure systems), and mining/industrial water management, with named enterprise customers in agriculture, mining, and manufacturing.
