"We couldn't be more excited for this event, and seeing such a strong response from attendees confirms just how much interest there is in the GrowSpan Venlo Greenhouse," said Will Hopkins, Business Development Manager for GrowSpan. "For many, this is a rare opportunity to get an up-close look at one of the most advanced greenhouse structures available today. Whether you're a commercial grower looking for ways to optimize your operation, or just passionate about innovative growing solutions, this event offers valuable insights you won't find anywhere else."

By hosting this landmark event, GrowSpan aims to highlight the importance of Venlo-style greenhouses to the future of controlled environment agriculture. These structures represent a major step forward for commercial greenhouse cultivation, enabling growers to efficiently produce high-quality crops on the largest scale, regardless of location.

GrowSpan's Venlo structures are engineered using CASTA design software, which ensures each greenhouse provides the utmost structural integrity, without excessive material use. Unlike traditional greenhouse engineering methods, CASTA optimizes material distribution, helping to reduce overall steel costs within a project.

CASTA's modeling capabilities also account for various design alternatives and their effects on the growing environment, like light transmission and internal climate control. As a result, GrowSpan is able to deliver an exceptional greenhouse that not only meets the highest standards for durability and scalability, but also allows operations to establish ideal growing conditions year-round.

"Compared to a traditional greenhouse, the Venlo gives us access to the highest degree of natural sunlight, climate control and overall durability," said Jena Jepson, Head Grower for GrowSpan. "These greenhouses are built to withstand harsh weather conditions over time, and with around 90% light transmission and greater uniformity throughout the environment, we're able to create a seamless growing space that's efficient, productive and easy to manage."
