In 1937 the ‘Van Holstein’ family launched an irrigation installation company, (in fact the Revaho name is made up of the first letters from ‘REgeninstallaties VAn Holstein’, which translates as ‘Van Holstein irrigation systems’), in the Netherlands, focussing on the fledgling glasshouse market. In later years Revaho made the successful transition to wholesaling irrigation materials and innovating the dutch market. A few of Revaho’s early accomplishments are:
First to use electric solenoids and controllers in the 50’s.
First to use Pin jet sprinklers in glasshouse irrigation in the 70’s
Pioneers of the use of PVC pipes and fittings in irrigation during the 70’s.
Introduced Netafim drippers to the glasshouse market in the 70’s
Introduced non leakage drip systems for substrate growing in the 90’s.
Revaho today is an international group of companies with offices in The Netherlands, the UK, Romania and Korea. From these centres irrigation technology and materials are supplied throughout northern and eastern Europe as well as the Far East. Polyethylene pipes are produced in Revaho’s factory, NAFF. Sizes from 3 – 315mm are produced in a variety of standards to meet the requirements of irrigation, municipal water supply and gas transfer.
