Paul Van Der Broek, alongside his parents, oversees the family-operated greenhouse in Holland. Traditionally focused on tomato cultivation, they sought a solution to regulate humidity within their greenhouse.

This led Paul to ClimaFlow, Svensson's vertical airflow system. Following its installation, Paul noticed numerous advantages and has since integrated ClimaFlow into their cultivation of eggplants.

Paul started exploring ClimaFlow in 2017 when he only grew tomatoes. The system offered him the opportunity to better regulate moisture in his greenhouse, which is essential to prevent mold, especially in tomatoes. Thanks to ClimaFlow, he was also able to keep his climate screens closed for longer, which was perfect for his greenhouses with diffuse glass. “We have seen significant improvements since we installed the ClimaFlow System,” enthuses Paul. “The greenhouse climate has become much more even. The temperature at the concrete path is the same as at the back of the facade. We suffer less from dampness and fungal diseases. And because we can keep the screens closed for longer, we save a considerable amount of energy.”
