‘Olive’ water pumps have made a sweeping entrance into the Sri Lankan market since March – built upon technical expertise and technological superiority developed over 25 years by the Agrotac Group, the preferred Original Equipment Manufacturer for major conglomerates in Sri Lanka.
As a specialised engineering group in the field of water supply, Agrotac has made its vision ‘powering water for life’ and contributed to the task of nation building through Sri Lankan engineering expertise, set to international standards.
A water-pump is an essential part of the infrastructure for the smooth running of a business or home – and yet so few think to focus on all aspects of quality, design and efficiency of this integral item. Thus far, Agrotac has worked behind the scenes to ensure high quality as well as streamlined, efficient design in water pump offerings supplied to consumers previously through other market leaders who have retained Agrotac because of its focus on technological excellence and continuous improvement. Its unparalleled product excellence arises due to local adaptations and meticulous customisation.
As Agrotac now enters the market with its very own brand of water pumps – ‘Olive’ – these technological advancements have allowed the product to be priced at almost 30% less than market prices, without compromising on quality resulting in Olive capturing over 20% of the market share in such a short time. Olive water pump products are offered across all three categories – domestic, industrial and agricultural applications, given the company’s expertise in equipment manufacture.
Very low energy consumption – in fact, being one of the lowest, is one of Olive’s key attributes. Its durability is also a main contributing factor – a very long lasting motor which has been built with copper status and uses ‘MAC cooling technology’ ensures this vital element of the motor runs with minimum breakdown or repair costs. This is complemented by a special, non-corrosive coating that increases durability of the product exponentially compared to other competitors in the market.
The special non-corrosive coating also ensures that there is no contamination of water by rust – a real benefit to users in every application, be it domestic or industrial.
