NETHERLANDS, Poeldijk - As Certhon celebrates its 125th anniversary, it is not difficult to imagine that much has changed over those years. Certhon has proven to be a market leader and knowledge expert that has worked on the most challenging horticultural projects in the world. Take the Certhon Harvest Robot, the SuprimAir Greenhouse they are currently building in Finland their project Madar Farms for example: world's first indoor farm for growing fresh tomatoes on a commercial-scale, in the middle of the desert. On top of that, the Hillenraad100 has acknowledged Certhon as winner of the HillenraadTECH50. With that award, Certhon has proven itself as the most high-profile and promising company within horticultural technology. Being a market leader of its class, the identity of Certhon could no longer keep up its position.

A changing world, a new position

Growing anything, anywhere. For everyone.
That is Certhon's promise to the world. A world that is not bound by the rules of growing. Where anything can be grown anywhere, no matter the season or climate. And where everyone in the world has access to healthy, safe and sustainable food. To deliver on that promise, Certhon combines its years of experience and horticultural knowledge, together with trustworthy techniques, plant science and artificial intelligence. That is how Certhon will completely change the world's growing systems from within. Tomatoes in the desert, lettuce in North America and strawberries in Hong Kong. Lotte van Rijn, General Manager at Certhon: "We are proud to show our new identity which meets our position in the market. In word, image and deed. Check out our new identity on www.certhon.com and discover how we enable the world to grow anything, anywhere."

Making the impossible, possible Out of the comfort zone has never been more relevant in agribusiness than it is today. Lotte: "The food transition requires major challenges. But we see opportunities. Of course, we cannot change the world's growing systems in one day, and certainly not on our own. We are working together with growers, investors, researchers and other pioneers to create a better system. I invite you to share your ambitions with us. Challenge us. We are at our best when we make the impossible possible." About Certhon Certhon is the number one high tech innovator in horticulture.
