Rivulis completes Jain Irrigation acquisition

Rivulis Pte. Ltd. has received full regulatory approval for the acquisition of multiple overseas subsidiaries which comprise the international irrigation business of Jain Irrigation.

Rivulis will finance the acquisition (initially announced in June 2022) with additional investment from Temasek as well as newly issued shares to Jain India. In addition, debt issuances of Jain USA and NaanDanJain will be refinanced immediately post-closing through a syndicated facility signed with leading banks including HSBC, Rabobank, State Bank of India, ING, Bank Leumi and the First International Bank of Israel.

“We are thrilled to have both companies join forces to build a long-lasting, purpose-led company, spearheading the transformation of agriculture through its focus on accessibility, innovation and sustainability,” said Richard Klapholz, Rivulis CEO.
