Agritech business iyris has announced a strategic partnership with Hyma Plastic, a firm specialising in agricultural polyethylene film products in Egypt.
The agreement appoints Hyma Plastic as the exclusive manufacturing and distribution partner of iyris’ SecondSky greenhouse covers in Egypt.
According to iyris, its SecondSky AGRI greenhouse films block near infrared heat radiation, extending the growing season and reducing water and energy consumption by over 30 per cent.
“We are excited to announce our strategic partnership with Hyma Plastic in Egypt to make heat blocking greenhouse film technology more accessible to the Egyptian market,” said Simon Stockil, Growth Director, EMEA at iyris.
Stockil noted that the agreement and partnership will accelerate the deployment of SecondSky AGRI greenhouse films to growers and farmers across Egypt.
iyris said that its technologies are now deployed and used by growers in eleven countries across five continents.
“Our customers’ crops suffer from major heat stress in their greenhouses, and our ability to add a globally recognized heat blocking technology to our AGRI product portfolio is an increasingly essential innovation needed to secure yield, quality and profitability for our customers,” commented Aly Samy Fahmy, Deputy CEO at Hyma Plastic – Hyma Foam.
