Philmac – The connection you can trust
Philmac awarded Irrigear’s Supplier of the Year 2024.
Philmac Managing Director, Shane Chisholm said, “The Irrigear SOTY Award means a great deal to Philmac. We employ over 300 people in Adelaide that are mainly involved in the manufacture of our products and the Philmac team gets such a boost from such prestigious recognition. The current levels of service of industry suppliers to Irrigear is very high, so this makes this Award even more special."
The Irrigear Supplier of the Year (SOTY) award recognises excellence amongst some of the best suppliers in the industry. Philmac earned this distinction through an annual appraisal process that relies strongly on feedback from Irrigear’s Member Stores, evaluating suppliers across a range of criteria such as product quality, innovation, service and support.
The official announcement of this award took place during the Irrigear National Conference Gala dinner in Cairns, where representatives from Irrigear’s member stores and fellow platinum suppliers were also in attendance. Presenting the award Irrigear General Manager Simon Treptow said: “Congratulations to Philmac on being announced as the Irrigear Supplier of the Year for 2024. It’s great recognition for a company that defines the best in product, service and support. Philmac are no strangers to this award, having won it a number of times in the past. That consistency is a credit to the entire Philmac team and helps Irrigear members provide superior solutions to any irrigation need”
Philmac is a prominent global leader in the design and manufacture of specialized fittings and valves, delivering cost-effective solutions for the transfer, control, and application of water. The company’s products are predominantly utilized in rural and irrigation settings, including sectors such as agriculture, viticulture, and horticulture.
