McElroy and Netafim to grow HDPE business
PIPE fusion machine manufacturer
McElroy and irrigation company Netafim
have joined forces to meet the demand
for HDPE pipeline solutions serving
the irrigation industry and the growing
opportunities in potable water and
natural gas.
“There are many similarities in the
history of our companies – the team-
based reward systems our organisations
have and the passion we each share to
do our part to make the world a better
place,” said McElroy president Chip
McElroy.
McElroy was the featured equipment
manufacturer at Netafim’s open
house recently, which debuted the
expansion of Netafim’s HDPE fusion
equipment business. Netafim also
sent representatives to McElroy’s
headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
USA, to take fusion operator courses
at McElroy University, which also offers
training in troubleshooting, maintenance
and inspection.
“We are excited about the many
benefits McElroy machines will bring
to our growing operation,” said Netafim
water infrastructure manager Ido
Goldsman. “They are well-engineered
and easy to operate, plus they will
enhance our productivity in the field
with the added assurance of technical
support.”
Marwan Ali, owner of Northern Arc,
took fusion training for medium- and
large-diameter pipe in preparation for
several jobs in the water industry and
what he expects will be many more jobs
in Israel and South Africa. “I’ve been
around different countries, but what we
saw here made a big impression on
us,” Mr Ali said. “It’s a good machine
and the training is very professional.”
He also drew attention to the machines’
productivity and safety features.
