Our family business SchermNed will be exhibiting at the national and international GreenTech Amsterdam for the first time this year. At our brand-new stand with extensive demo models, we will be pleased to demonstrate the latest screen systems for greenhouse horticulture and the foil market to you, as well as our insect netting systems!

Growers again face very challenging choices in 2023. Do we switch to LED lighting and then have to install a second screen to maintain climate? What do we do about the rising humidity in the greenhouse? Do we heat more, ventilate more (fans) or do we go for dehumidifiers? These are tough choices and certainly not the cheapest options either.

Our customer, WPK, is installing netting in its greenhouses in Made, department by department. The grower aims to keep out diseases and pests in this way. With the vents ajar, a whitefly or aphid will usually fly in. Our customer has much fewer pests with SchermNed insect netting under the vents.

Forward-thinking. That is a term that sums up the entrepreneurial approach and cultivation methods of Kwekerij Jami, AKA Michel Zwinkels. For instance, he was the first Dutch vine tomato grower to switch to LED lighting, resulting in better tomatoes and increased production. Together with Oxin Growers, he recently had Luxous Light FR installed by SchermNed.

Sustainability has so many different facets. From choosing sustainable materials to selecting parts with a positive effect on the lifespan. And that is why we select high-quality materials and parts: the best defense against wear and tear. "Not only good for the planet, but also good for your wallet."
