15 years of sustainability with Duijvestijn Tomatoes and SchermNed
In 1963, father Leo Duijvestijn started a modest greenhouse business in Honselersdijk. Today, this company has grown into a true pioneer with 50 football fields full of modern greenhouses, accommodating as many as 500.000 tomato plants. Ready for the future, and with pride, SchermNed can say that they have been a reliable partner for 15 years, contributing to this impressive story.

Insect netting in frameless ventilation windows is possible!

A great job at Kwekerij Jami
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.
WPK installs netting in greenhouses for optimum clean cultivation
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.

Updated shaft bearing plate for a longer lifespan
