In recent years, the greenhouse horticulture industry has shown a booming trend in China. Dozens of large-scale smart glass greenhouses have been established in China, primarily producing high-quality tomatoes. Soilless cultivation using rock wool is frequently employed in these glass greenhouses.
"We are the first company in China to independently develop and produce hydroponic cultivation rock wool since the 1990s," explains a representative from Shanghai ABM Rock Wool Dafeng Co., Ltd, adding that almost nearly $100 million was invested in the company, and the production equipment is imported from Europe. "It is the largest green rock wool manufacturing base in the Asia-Pacific region, and its three waste emission standards are benchmarked against the advanced level of the European industry. With highly recognized quality, many large greenhouses in China have adopted our UPuper® rock wool."
Stable support
"Our rock wool substrate not only has good water retention and air permeability but also provides stable support and a fully controllable nutrient supply for plant roots. This cultivation method not only reduces soil-borne pests and diseases but also avoids problems such as soil pollution and salinization, thereby realizing the sustainable development of agriculture."
"Our UPuper® brand has partnered with Kaisheng Haofeng, a large state-owned enterprise in China, for tomato production. UPuper® also won the 2023 Best Contribution Award issued by Kaisheng Haofeng. In addition to providing high-quality UPuper® rock wool, we offer professional planting guidance to growers."
In 2017, the team began exploring the UPuper® brand overseas, and to date, UPuper® soilless cultivation rock wool products have been sold to more than 20 countries.
"The greenhouse market is generally highly mechanized, and the entire process of seedling cultivation, transplanting, and planting is standardized, systematized, and normalized, which places higher demands on the stability, consistency, efficiency, and reliability of rock wool substrates. UPuper® rock wool media fully meets customer needs based on its extensive production experience and is highly recognized by customers for its advantages in product research, development capabilities, and quality control", they conclude.
