AU: Apex Greenhouses launches RETRAC retractable roof system
“This product was developed after frustrating experiences with other products on the market” says director Eddie Braaksma. “The RETRAC system gets rid of wires, cables and other unnecessary parts that are common in other retractable systems. Cables and wires used on other systems mean long installation hours and high maintenance, as well as losing space around the structure. Our system is clean and clear meaning low maintenance as well as being fast and safe to construct”.
Grower Stephen Hill from Tasmania had the RETRAC system built on his property 8 months ago and says the following “I couldn’t think of anything better on the market. The RETRAC system provides the best of both worlds, being able to cover up when it’s raining and opening up to full light.”
The directors of Apex believe their system has a lot of applications in protected cropping both domestically and worldwide. “More and more we see supermarkets demanding produce year round. We see in Australia with extreme weather events, more growers are looking to move under cover to protect their investment. A glasshouse is not always the right choice for climates with high humidity and temperature or the ROI might not be there depending on the value of the crop. This product can fill a big gap in that market.” says Folco Faber.
Director James Harris finishes with the following: “A lot of time and investment has gone into the development of the RETRAC. We're leveraging off our long history in the greenhouse industry and we are confident that this is going to bring some much needed competition to this sector.”
