Construction
The second week of November of last year, the foundation was laid for the 1.8 hectare greenhouse. Construction circumstances were very difficult due to the adverse weather conditions, with a lot of rain. With 3 construction teams and the extra building machines that were deployed, the December 23 planning to finish the greenhouse was met.
Take a look at this very cool timelapse of the construction work:
Why KUBO?
Grower Thomas Larsen explained why he choose for KUBO: ”In the last 10 years, I only built with KUBO. This is the third time, and every time it was under extreme weather conditions, like a lot of rain or snow. Despite this, the planning was met every time. KUBO has an office in Denmark, so communication lines are short. We made the planning together, go the go-ahead from KUBO, and started building. For me it's essential that people honor commitments, I've got contracts of my own with buyers for the plants.”
At the moment, Peter Dekker Installaties, long-time partner of KUBO, is installing several screen installations. Verkade Klimaat is installing the heating. All this occurs under the guidance of DutchTec's Henk van Tuyl, a Kubo representative who lives in Denmark.

Gartneriet Møllerhøj specializes in large-scale batches of plants, mostly grown by contract for various large clients, such as garden centers and construction markets. The main focus for this company is on Scandinavia and Germany.
The first plants will go into the greenhouse in week 7.
