With over 35 years of experience, Luiten Greenhouses is a well-known player in the greenhouse farming sector. At the Westland-based company, they understand the dynamics and challenges of the sector like no other. This expertise enables the De Lier-based specialists to play an advisory role and support customers with all their greenhouse and screen installation questions. A part of this that should not be underestimated is service and maintenance.
A strategic focus on maintenance allows companies to stay ahead of problems, save costs, and ensure business continuity. After all, prevention is always better than cure.
Close contact with grower
To respond to this seriously and decisively, Luiten Greenhouses set up a separate department for service and maintenance about three years ago, managed by service coordinator Joost Gordijn. "Being able to serve customers quickly is very important. With a good focus on maintenance, there is still a lot to be gained."
Luiten Greenhouses' specialists are in close contact with the grower. "We listen to their wishes and problems, actively think along with them, and offer tailor-made solutions." Customers are regularly contacted personally by phone or e-mail, for example in the event of a storm. "This enables us to be prepared and ensure that our customers never have to wait needlessly."

Annual maintenance agreement
Luiten Greenhouses works with annual agreements for service and maintenance. "This allows us to schedule preventive maintenance accurately. By identifying problems early on, expensive repairs and replacements can be avoided. Small repairs and adjustments are often considerably cheaper than fixing major breakdowns."
If more and more growers have maintenance handled in a planned way, this will prevent acute problems, Joost stresses. Everything eventually wears out or becomes outdated and needs maintenance. "If something unexpectedly breaks, the question is of course always: 'Can that be fixed quickly?' Of course, but it is even better to be ahead of this point. That saves stress, but often also time and money."
