Mr. Houweling is founder and builder of one of the largest, most technically advanced and environmentally friendly greenhouse operations in the world – he is also President of Glass Investments, a private consulting firm which specializes in greenhouse building and operating best practices.
“The addition of Casey Houweling to the team is a giant step forward in establishing a world-class growing facility in Weedon, Quebec,” said Rob Gietl, CEO of MYM. “Mr. Houweling is a respected global leader in the greenhouse industry and will prove to be a valuable asset in the successful construction and operating practices of the 1.5 million square foot Weedon project. MYM understands that lower production costs achieved from large scale production will drive success in coming years. As competition ramps up, operations with higher costs will suffer as cannabis prices drop.”
Over his career, Mr. Houweling has designed intellectual property for the greenhouse industry which has lowered costs, improved yields, and reached the highest standard of product. Mr. Houweling will incorporate commercial techniques and systems gained from his greenhouse experience in Canada and the USA and apply them to the Weedon, Quebec project.
Mr. Houweling will work with project experts and stakeholders to prepare a site layout, provide capital cost estimates, and design operating specifications suitable for a cannabis greenhouse. He will also assist in the financial feasibility studies and procurement of equipment from his global contacts.
