Technology and implants
Ageon supplies personalised solutions for a variety of needs connected to high-tech greenhouses (i.e. with artificial lighting, processing carts, support ducts for substrates, water collection tanks, harvesting-transportation-packaging systems etc.

Accessories and materials
Soil-less crops perform better and therefore need suitable accessories such as plastic and biodegradable bunch clips and hooks, detergents and greenhouse cleaning services, instantaneous kits to diagnose diseases and so on.

AgeonTech
AgeonTech operates exclusively in the soil-less sector, helping growers to choose among the many solutions and providing technical assistance, training, seminars and analysis services. It is a member of the Green Expert Platform, which gathers the main international soil-less experts and coordinates a team of consultants at a national level.

Most of the clients produce tomatoes (vine, beef, cherry, date, etc.), but Ageon also provides solutions for nursery gardens (photo above and below).

Many of the most important Italian soil-less producers are already Ageon clients. The company supplies products and services that are specifically studied for each single circumstance. A special testing service is also available for some clients for those varieties that are not being cultivated in greenhouses yet.
