Jaltek forge partnership to target new ‘agritech’ business
Jaltek is thrilled to announce it has signed a new partnership that will give ‘agritech’ innovators seeking contract manufacturing and electronics solutions a single point of contact.
Jaltek are collaborating with PP Control & Automation (PP C&A) to target new orders with UK organisations involved in indoor/vertical farming, automation, precision farming and remote sensing.
Acting as a bridge between cutting-edge agricultural innovation and bringing the technology to market, this relationship will help potential customers speed up time to market, maximise output and unlock value-add design and engineering by providing access to a comprehensive suite of engineering and production capabilities.
Agritech has seen significant growth over the last few years as well as funding being directed its way.
Jaltek’s Claire Mackay, commented; “This is a fantastic example of two UK manufacturers joining forces to deliver a solution that a fast-growing market is looking for.
Together we bring experience in agricultural machinery and equipment manufacture and we understand the unique needs and challenges of the industry. Whether you need contract manufacturing for mechanical systems or electronics assembly for sensor systems, we can cover every engineering and production capability for a fully outsourced approach to machine and system build.”
Claire continued; “The importance of a collaborative approach has never been more clear, it is the cornerstone of transformative innovation, but for us it is also a commitment to shared goals, to the understanding that any challenges we may come across are best tackled together and that combining our expertise will always lead to better outcomes for all involved.
There is so much innovation in this country, but a lot of the time it is commercialised elsewhere. We want to reverse that trend and feel agritech is the perfect sector for us to pioneer this approach. Our partnership will allow innovation to be realised.”
Garry Myatt, Sales Director at PP Control & Automation added; “This collaboration is not just about assembling parts or circuits. It’s about providing the sector with the arsenal to scale up swiftly and sustainably, turning good ideas into the very fabric of agricultural innovation.”
Garry went on to say: “We both share a passion for facilitating innovation and making sure the UK benefits commercially from new technology and ‘disrupting’ the status quo. What lies ahead is a partnership that extends well beyond transactions and we’re really excited to be working together on this pioneering new approach.”
