Van der Hoeven and Patron Agri Systems expand HortiQ Certification

Menno van den Brink - CTO, and Jens Stender-Robertz - QHSE Manager, on behalf of Patron Agri Systems, have received the BRL8001 certificate. Patron already possessed the BRL8000 certificate, ensuring the quality of the company's processes. With the BRL8001 certificate, specifically guaranteeing the quality of water products, the certification is now complete. "Achieving both the BRL8000 and BRL8001 certificates is clear evidence of Van der Hoeven and Patron Agri Systems' commitment to high-quality and craftsmanship," said Hans van der Salm, Chairman of HortiQ.

Since the establishment of HortiQ, Van der Hoeven Horticultural Projects has had a close relationship with the foundation, and these additional certifications further confirm the dedication of Van der Hoeven and Patron Agri Systems to the highest standards of quality in horticulture.

"With projects becoming increasingly large-scale and growing demands from investors in terms of quality and certifications, this milestone strengthens our position as a dependable key player in the industry. As the Van der Hoeven Group, we are delighted with the expansion of our certificates; this marks a crucial step in further professionalizing our company and is essential to maintain leadership in the sector," said Menno van den Brink.

The BRL8000 and BRL8001 certificates, issued by HortiQ, confirm that Van der Hoeven Horticultural Projects and Patron Agri Systems meet strict quality standards and protocols within the horticultural industry.
