Thanks to a distribution agreement between Villa and Pessl Instruments technological solutions are now brought closer to the South African market.

Digitization, data analytics, IoT, location detection technologies, AI-based devices, drone technology. The technological advance has entered into agriculture and changed it drastically.

Pessl Instruments and Villa understand how useful these technological innovations are. They assist farmers to make better decisions, increase efficiency and help reduce the use of water, land, energy. The evolving approach to agriculture and farming practices are without a doubt the future of modern agriculture.

Pessl Instruments agreed to give Villa exclusive rights to distribute hardware and software under METOS brand in South Africa. This way the high-end weather stations that cover a wide range of services will get closer to the South African farmers and help them with their production. As part of the distribution strategy, the name “METOS South Africa” was secured.

We are excited to say that we have a strong team behind this cooperation – Deon Coetzee, current Marketing advisor that will lead the project in close collaboration with Marius Boshoff from Villa and Colin Nish from Pessl Instruments. We are looking forward to seeing the results this collaboration brings.
