W Agro Park is set to begin production at its new high-tech glass greenhouse in Kayseri, located in Central Anatolia, at the start of the new year. The facility covers 40,000 square meters and is built with state-of-the-art engineering, advanced automation, and a strong focus on sustainability.
This large investment marks an important milestone for both W Agro Park and the wider agricultural sector in the region and across the country. It is recognized as the city's first geothermal-powered glass greenhouse and stands among the most technologically advanced greenhouse projects developed in Turkey.

The entire facility runs on a geothermal heating system, which supports stable, year-round production while sharply reducing fossil fuel use. This approach lowers the project's carbon footprint. With its Venlo-type glass greenhouse structure, the facility offers maximum natural light, precise climate control, and strong crop performance.
All climate parameters—including temperature, humidity, CO₂, irrigation, and fertigation—are monitored around the clock through the Hoogendoorn IIVO climate automation system. The setup allows real-time digital control and remote access. This integrated digital framework reduces human error while improving production efficiency and crop quality.

The project was developed through a combination of domestic and international engineering partners. The main contractor is TIMFOG Engineering, supported by system and technology partners such as Boal System for the Lumenex Venlo greenhouse structure, Hoogendoorn for climate automation, Van der Valk for structural systems, HollandGaas for ventilation and screening, Phormium for climate and shading screens, Aqualine for irrigation and water management, Netafim for drip irrigation technologies, and MST Holland for cultivation and growing systems.

Production, export and employment power
The W Agro Park greenhouse is designed for an annual production capacity of 2,500 tons of fresh tomatoes, with production strategically focused on export markets across Europe. With its high quality standards and traceability-focused production model, the project aims to further strengthen the competitive position of Turkish fresh produce in European markets.

The facility will directly employ 40–45 full-time staff, while creating significantly broader indirect employment opportunities through logistics, packaging, technical services, maintenance, and supplier networks, making a strong contribution to the regional economy.
Founder of W Agro Park, Mehmet Kabak, commented on the investment: "This has been an extremely exciting, visionary, and proud investment for us. We sincerely hope that this project will set a new benchmark for modern greenhouse farming in Turkey and serve as a strong example for major investors. Adding technological value to our country's agricultural production is at the core of our vision."
