Grand Officer Baron Vitantonio Colucci, founder and president of the Plastic-Puglia industrial group, visited the company’s stand at EIMA International today. His visit to the Bologna exhibition comes ahead of a milestone for the Monopoli-based group, which will celebrate 60 years in business in 2027.
When drip irrigation was still far from widespread, Colucci recognised its potential for agriculture and built his business around it. Nearly 60 years on, Plastic-Puglia is showcasing technologies in Bologna that give growers greater control over how much water they apply, when they apply it and which parts of the field receive it. Among them is AquaPro, a system that automates drip irrigation and allows growers to manage their systems remotely.
During the visit, Baron Colucci met business partners, technical staff and other members of the team. He praised the stand and the range of water-efficient products on display. The visit underscored his support for the group’s international outreach and Plastic-Puglia’s continued commitment to developing new technologies for agriculture.
Meanwhile, business meetings with customers, distributors and industry professionals continue on the fourth day of the exhibition. Alongside new contacts, particularly from international markets, the team is following up on technical discussions that began earlier in the week, covering everything from system specifications to the irrigation needs of different crops.
Plastic-Puglia will also welcome visitors on the final day of the exhibition, Saturday, 14 November, in Hall 21, Stand A6.
