Joan has been part of our team since September 2022, as global product manager. She helps to monitor the quality of our products and processes. She keeps an international eye on whether everything is going according to Svensson's standards. How does she do that? What does she think of her role, and of the horticulture sector? Time to catch up with Joan!

Flor y Miel, a company located in Cuautla, Morelos, Mexico, has the capacity to produce 140,000 orchids and anthuriums annually. We interviewed Fernando Aguerrebere, owner of the project, and Moisés Rosas Zamora, grower in Flor y Miel. Together they told us how with our climate screens, Luxous and Harmony, they were able to improve the climate inside the greenhouses and the quality of their plants.

To build an exemplary company and emerge as a leader in the kalanchoe sector; that was André Lankhaar's goal when he expanded into Bleiswijk last year. That’s the same reason he decided to invest in a ClimaFlow System from Svensson. This dehumidification and ventilation system enables Lankhaar to reduce his energy costs, better control his greenhouse climate, and improve product quality.

To support the horticulture sector in solving climate, light and energy control challenges, Svensson and AGCULTURE have formed a global partnership. With this collaboration, both companies aim to serve the market with their expertise and premium quality solutions.

In the fall of 2022, Ohio State University opened a new research greenhouse complex in Columbus, OH, USA. The greenhouse is one of the largest and most high-tech CEA research spaces in the U.S. and currently utilizes Svensson's PARperfect for research in managing climate factors for crop production.

The future of greenhouse horticulture lies in the hands of the new generation. But are they interested in it? How attractive is a career in greenhouse horticulture among young people and young adults? We spoke with 25-year-old Stef from Greenhouse Horticulture Netherlands, Inholland Delft University of Applied Sciences to find out.

On 8 | 9 | 10 February Fruit Logistica will take place in Berlin. Svensson will of course be there. We welcome you to our stand in Hall 3.2 - B-34

Time flies; it is now the 5th growing cycle for Hortipolaris. We were glad to visit their greenhouse located in Miyun, Beijing once again to interview Dan Xu, the general manager of Hortipolaris on the topic of sustainability.

At Gitzels plant nursery, innovation and efficiency are of paramount importance. They are building a new greenhouse with even more attention to light and climate to produce even better plant material. They chose Svensson's PARperfect screen solution for this purpose.

A beautiful new year, but most of all: God Fortsättning!

Drones fly through greenhouses to collect data. The first sorting and packaging robots are introduced. So we are well on our way to fully automating greenhouse horticulture. But how far are we, exactly? Harm van Adrichem of Gearbox discusses his vision for the future.

When it comes to floral crop cultivation, the requirements vary for light. The most basic requirement is to reduce the light that the plant receives as needed, by shading, or to regulate the photoperiod. These are both relatively easy to achieve with the use of shading screens.
