We deliver results. Guaranteed.

Controlled, year-round, climate-independent, and local cultivation. Always achieve high yields of excellent quality and great taste. Large-scale and commercial or on a small scale for extremely precise research.

Indoor Farming
Think bigger. Think higher profits.

High, predictable yields of top quality

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) offers a solution to the food challenges of a growing world population. It shortens the chain, provides a fresher product and increases efficiency without CO2 emissions. You can grow year-round, with full control over yield and quality, while using 90% less water. This sustainable and healthy growing method is clean, free of pesticides and accessible to all. Result: more harvest per square meter, of the highest quality and taste. Worldwide and in every season.

Unique concepts

The more complex the project, the greater the impact our solutions have. Our cultivation systems take large-scale daylight-free and autonomous growing to the highest level:

Sensors and data

Understand precisely what the plant requires, and at which moment, to establish optimal growing conditions. Using insights into the levels of light, water, and CO2, you can optimize transpiration without compromising photosynthesis.

Research and breeding

Verifiable, with the most accurate data and a range of cultivation recipes. We realize advanced, custom-made climate chambers, with pre-tested output, so you get the results you can build on.

Year-round top quality

Dutch lettuce grower Deliscious can deliver a high-quality, uniform top product year-round, thanks in part to the closed and highly controlled cultivation system they grow the lettuce in. Quality, freshness and reliability are guaranteed year-round thanks to this process.

Certhon Control System

The Certhon Control System (CCS) is an advanced management and control system specifically designed to optimize growing conditions. These include temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, light prescription and soil moisture. But also insights into photosynthesis and evaporation are now accessible through users of the CCS.
  • Optimal and consistent seed production in climate cells

    Certhon’s turnkey climate cell solutions ensure consistent quality of produced seeds. This is crucial for breeding companies, but also for other companies within the horticultural sector, where reliable supply of high-quality seeds is essential. With our climate cells, we are taking a revolutionary step in seed production. In our Certhon Innovation Centre we like to investigate, together with breeders, the best conditions per crop and per variety in order to then be able to provide that seed security. For every climate, with guaranteed returns. Guarantee your delivery reliability and ensure your yield.

“The collaboration with Certhon has helped us to realize our ambitions. Certhon has met our high expectations, including for the climate of our greenhouses and phytotrons, for the LED lighting that was specifically developed for us. Since 2016 we have experienced that the Certhon installations are very reliable and if something is sometimes defective, the service is very effective.”
