Hunter Industries acquired all the landscape irrigation products, patents and trademarks from Alex-Tronix Controls of Fresno, Calif.

Since 1977, Alex-Tronix has been a creator of irrigation controller technology for the commercial landscape and agricultural irrigation industries.

“For more than 30 years, George Alexanian and Alex-Tronix have developed innovations in control technology that have advanced water conservation,” said Greg Hunter, president of Hunter Industries. “This strategic acquisition will allow Hunter to broaden the coverage of our intellectual property in this very important segment of the commercial market. Further, it will allow Hunter to improve upon our existing products and expand our product offering.”

Alex-Tronix President George Alexanian said the purchase allows Hunter to leverage its strengths while continuing to offer innovations in smart water technology.

“Alex-Tronix will continue to focus on delivering and developing innovative products to our agricultural irrigation customers,” said Alexanian. “We see this as an opportunity to expand our core agricultural controller business and help our farmers conserve water during the drought.”
