International leader in the agrotextile sector, the company offers various solutions for the cultivation of
apples and pears, two of the most produced and consumed fruits on a global level.

Arrigoni studies specific solutions for
every type of situation, according to the
needs and the production area. More-

to use the right percentage of shading. In
regions where there is not enough sun, for
crops that require high irradiation, trans-

reduce the damage caused by burns. More-
