Cal-West Rain Inc. has announced an agreement in principle to acquire certain assets of Water-Ways Irrigation Engineers Inc. based in Bakersfield, CA. Founded in 1950 by Victor Tkac, Water-Ways has served growers across the Southern San Joaquin Valley for over 70 years.
“We are thrilled with our agreement with Heather Tkac to acquire certain Water-Ways assets while supporting their customers across the southern end of the Central Valley,” said Rick Skaff, CEO of Cal-West Rain Inc. “Combined with our existing locations in Kerman, Paso Robles and Hanford, the Water-Ways asset acquisition complements our existing business and gives us a local presence in Kern County and the surrounding region.”
“With the Water-Ways acquisition, Cal-West Rain will continue to adapt and change as farming practices, water management, and irrigation technology evolves. We are fully committed to maintaining an industry-leading team with unmatched experience and backed by the latest tooling, equipment, and products to consistently deliver cost-effective and innovative water management solutions to our customers,” said Rick Skaff.
“We’re very pleased with the pending acquisition by Cal-West Rain,” said Heather Tkac, Owner of Water-Ways Irrigation Engineers Inc. “Cal-West’s history and reputation in the Central Valley will provide a strong foundation to support our existing customers and bring new capabilities in order to grow the Water-Ways business in the years to come.”
Based on the current agreement, the acquisition will close November 30, 2020 and the business will be operated as Cal West Rain.
