Did you get a chance to check out the sprayer innovation at the Fleet Horticulture Launch Day?

Our new spray attachment has been designed to work with almost any existing sprayer, making it easier than ever to apply Fleet Reflect+ efficiently and evenly across your orchard rows. The goal is simple — consistent coverage, less hassle, better results.

We’ve partnered with the talented team at Metalform (Dannevirke) Ltd to bring this solution to life, combining Fleet’s product development focus with Metalform’s precision engineering.

If you missed seeing it in action, don’t worry — we’ll be sharing more soon. Stay tuned. 🌱

One of the coolest things to come out of last week’s Fleet Horticulture Launch was the chance to collaborate with some incredible companies who are pushing boundaries in the horticulture industry.

A perfect example? We saw three great ideas come together in one innovative setup:
✅ Fleet Horticulture’s Reflect+ paint solution
✅ Loaded into Metalform (Dannevirke) Ltd’s Tow and Fert machine with our specially designed sprayer
✅ Towed by Agri Automation ’s autonomous robot

Talk about future-focused innovation in action!

This is what the launch was all about – bringing together bright minds and bold ideas to create smarter, more sustainable solutions for growers.

A few of the Fleet team headed over to Taupō last week to check out a seriously innovative (and sustainable) option for transporting large volumes of paint.

Instead of using drums or IBCs, the concept uses huge bladders – and we got to see a 20,000 litre bladder being loaded on site!

Massive thanks to the awesome crew at Geo40 for hosting us and letting us see it all in action. Plenty of ideas sparked for the future of Fleet Horticulture.
