Technology as driver of Growcoon and Nygaia
Smart, sustainable and scalable processes
At Horti Automation, we believe sustainable innovation only makes a real impact when it can be applied at scale. That’s why we work behind the scenes, as the automation engine behind pioneering brands like Growcoon and Nygaia. Two standout, biodegradable innovations that reshape and future-proof the way young plants are propagated.
Our role in the bigger picture
We make sure that innovations like Growcoon and Nygaia can be produced and applied on a large scale. This enables growers around the world to meet rising demand for food and green products while lowering their footprint. Automation is key here: it unlocks efficient, scalable, and sustainable production.
With advanced automation systems like the Growcoon Dispensers and Nygaia PlugLine, we connect product with practice. These machines are designed for speed, precision, and seamless integration into both existing and next-generation cultivation systems. Our goal is clear: to make sustainable, large-scale growing achievable for every forward-thinking grower.
From idea to execution
As part of Maan Group, Maan Horti Automation builds on deep expertise in both horticulture and other industries. It’s often at these crossovers that breakthrough innovation happens. In close collaboration with Maan Engineering and the teams behind Growcoon and Nygaia, we bring tailored automation solutions to growers—whatever the crop, system or scale.
Engineered down to the last detail
Before we start building, we go in-depth. We assess the tray and Growcoon combination and explore how the process can be fully integrated. There’s a proven concept behind every Growcoon Dispenser or Nygaia PlugLine, but each project involves tailor-made design. After installation, we carry out on-site testing to ensure the solution works as intended—in practice. Efficient. Reliable. And truly embedded in the grower’s daily process. Through a global partner network, we offer hands-on support anywhere in the world. Because a system should not only run, it should deliver.
Partnerships with purpose
We don’t just develop equipment, we help shape the future of sustainable horticulture. Together with developers, growers, and suppliers, we align automation with real-world needs. By simplifying implementation and improving workflows, we accelerate the impact of these innovations. With less labour, more autonomy, reduced waste, and greater control, we help growers move forward—smarter and more sustainably.
