Empowering sustainable horticulture through automation

The future of horticulture calls for automation with vision
The horticultural sector is entering a time of significant change. The challenge is clear: produce more with less. Meet the growing demand for plant-based products while addressing rising labor shortages. At the same time, we must reduce our ecological footprint. That requires a new way of thinking and working. Smarter, more autonomous, and driven by data. And that future is already taking shape.

The greenhouse of tomorrow will have little to no impact on its surroundings, and the environment will no longer affect the system. Cultivation will be closed, fully autonomous, and high-tech in every detail. Precision growing will become the standard—achieving maximum output with minimal input. Automation is the key to this shift and essential to meet the increasing demand for healthy, plant-based products. But only when it’s part of a broader sustainable ecosystem.

Automation as a driver of sustainable growth
Growcoon and Nygaia focus on reducing waste, using sustainable materials, promoting circular horticulture, and cutting CO₂ emissions and microplastics. Automation takes this even further. It streamlines operations, prevents waste, and reduces reliance on manual labor. It enables data-based decision-making, which is crucial for a resilient and future-oriented sector. It’s the driver behind long-term sustainable growth.

Our mission
Our goal is clear: to prepare horticulture worldwide for what lies ahead. Not with one-off technologies, but with thoughtful systems that improve and future-proof cultivation while increasing output. By embedding technology into the process, we help accelerate the transition.

The power of collaboration
From vision technology to quality control, our solutions are designed to move the industry forward in both efficiency and sustainability. But no technology can make a lasting difference on its own. That’s why collaboration is vital.

As part of Maan Group and the sister company of Maan Biobased Products, we are shaping the future of horticulture together. In close cooperation with Klasmann-Deilmann, we are making our technologies more accessible and impactful worldwide. These partnerships allow us to scale sustainable product innovations effectively and bring real change to the sector.
