“We’re pleased and proud to have received this award,” said Netafim CEO Ran Maidan. “The prize is further testimony to the success of this unique marketing campaignand to the innovation and leadership values that have played an important part of Netafim’s success since its establishment. It’s also one of several awards that we’ve won during the past year.

The greatest prize for us, however, is a unified sense of pride, belonging and cooperation shared among our customers and employees in Israel and abroad.”
