We offer greenhouse structures from worldwide sources and our greenhouse structures are designed for a wide variety of crops as are our shade houses.

We have greenhouse structures installed in Lhasa, Tibet, near the highest point of the world and in the most humid area of the world, Madras, India. The knowledge of designing greenhouse structures to fit all climates, crops and locations of the world is the major focus of our company. We are also expert in all environmental control systems (e.g., air conditioning, evaporative cooling, fans, heating, and ventilation), greenhouse coverings and components of all types (e.g., benches, carts, conveyors, crop lighting, fertilization and feeding, humidification, propagation, seed processing, soil handling, soil sterilization, and water booms, to name but a few).
