We don't just design greenhouses

We design and construct complete systems for berry production

At Van der Hoeven, we engineer integrated greenhouse systems where climate control, irrigation, lighting and automation function as one. Our semi-closed ModulAIR greenhouses create a stable and controllable environment that supports healthy plant development and consistent fruit production throughout the entire crop cycle. Each solution is tailored to the specific berry crop, local climate and grower objectives, ensuring long-term reliability and scalability.

Optimized climate control for berries
Berry crops are highly sensitive to fluctuations in temperature, humidity and airflow. Semi-closed greenhouse systems provide superior climate stability, reducing plant stress and supporting uniform flowering and fruit development. Precise control over CO₂, temperature and humidity results in improved fruit quality, reduced disease pressure and more predictable yields.

Efficient resource management
Van der Hoeven’s greenhouse solutions are designed to optimize the use of water, energy and nutrients. Advanced irrigation and fertigation systems deliver resources directly to the root zone, minimizing waste and improving efficiency. Heat recovery, controlled ventilation and energy saving technologies further reduce operational costs while supporting sustainable berry production.

Automated processes and labor efficiency
Berry cultivation requires careful handling and continuous monitoring. Automation plays a key role in improving labor efficiency and operational reliability. Integrated climate automation, irrigation control and energy management reduce manual interventions, support consistent growing conditions and enable better planning of labor and production cycles.

Healthier plants, higher yields
Stable greenhouse conditions promote stronger plants, uniform flowering and consistent fruit size. Precise climate and water management reduce disease risks and support healthy crop development. This results in higher yields per square meter, improved fruit quality and increased production reliability across multiple cultivation cycles.

Scalability and long-term flexibility
Van der Hoeven greenhouse solutions are designed to adapt as operations grow. Modular greenhouse concepts allow growers to scale production capacity or adjust cultivation strategies in response to market demand. This flexibility ensures long-term value and investment security for commercial berry growers worldwide.

Ideal berry growing conditions

Berry crops thrive in greenhouse environments where temperature, humidity, light and CO₂ are precisely controlled. Semi-closed greenhouses provide these conditions consistently, enabling reliable production regardless of external climate challenges. Local greenhouse production also supports shorter supply chains, improved freshness and extended shelf life.

Technology that grows with you

To optimize berry cultivation, Van der Hoeven integrates climate automation, precision irrigation and energy efficient technologies. LED lighting, energy screens and sustainable heating and cooling systems support crop performance while reducing energy consumption. Each solution is engineered to meet the specific needs of the grower and the crop, ensuring optimal performance today and flexibility for the future.

Berry frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of growing berries in a greenhouse?

Growing berries in a greenhouse offers full control over climate, light and irrigation. This creates optimal growth conditions, improves fruit quality and increases yields. Greenhouse berries benefit from protection against extreme weather and pests, resulting in more consistent production and higher-quality fruit throughout the season.

How does a semi-closed system improve berry production?

A semi-closed greenhouse system improves berry production by maintaining stable temperatures, humidity and CO₂ levels. This controlled environment supports optimal growth and efficient photosynthesis, especially for strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. As a result, greenhouse berry crops produce more uniform fruit with improved taste and shelf life.

Can berries be grown year-round in a greenhouse?

Yes, growing berries in a greenhouse makes year-round production possible. With advanced climate control, lighting and energy-efficient systems, growers can maintain ideal conditions even during cooler temperatures. This allows greenhouse berries such as strawberries and raspberries to produce fruit beyond the traditional outdoor growing season.

What role does climate control play in berry quality?

Climate control is essential for producing high-quality greenhouse berries. Precise regulation of temperature, humidity and ventilation ensures healthy plant development and consistent fruit formation. Stable conditions help prevent stress, improve flavor and support optimal growth, especially for sensitive crops like blueberry bushes and raspberries.

Are greenhouse systems suitable for different berry types?

Greenhouse systems are suitable for a wide range of berry types, including strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, as well as blueberry bushes. Each crop benefits from tailored climate settings that support producing fruit efficiently. This flexibility makes greenhouse berry cultivation ideal for growers targeting multiple berry varieties.

Are there crop solutions available for other crops as well?

Besides berries, we also offer advanced crop solutions for soft fruit, strawberries, tomatoes, leafy greens, lettuce and floriculture, giving growers access to a full range of high-performance greenhouse solutions.
