Expert guidance for sustainable growth

At Van der Hoeven, delivering a greenhouse is just the beginning.

Through our Operate & Maintain division, we remain closely involved to ensure that every project continues to perform, evolve, and deliver lasting value.

We understand that not every customer has prior experience working in a high-tech greenhouse. It takes time, training, and adaptability to get to know the systems and create the optimal growing climate.

Our Operate & Maintain division ensures a smooth transition from commissioning to full production. We offer structured training, on-site guidance, and remote support to help local teams become independent, confident, and highly skilled operators.

Expert Advice

Our expert training equips your team with the knowledge and skills to operate the greenhouse independently and efficiently. Through practical, hands-on training, we explain how the greenhouse systems work and the philosophy behind the greenhouse concept. By understanding not just what to do, but why decisions are made, your team learns to translate system data into effective action

During the start-up phase, our horticultural specialists provide hands-on growing support to help you establish a stable and productive crop from day one. We guide your team through the first cultivation cycles, supporting crop strategy, climate settings, and day-to-day growing decisions. This structured start-up approach builds confidence, accelerates learning, and lays the foundation for consistent, high-quality production.

We continuously monitor climate, energy use, and crop performance through real-time data and on-site observations. Our specialists work alongside your team to interpret insights, identify deviations early, and fine-tune settings where needed. This proactive approach ensures stable conditions, optimal efficiency, and peak performance

Optimising performance, together

Together with your team, our experts continuously optimise your ModulAIR semi-closed greenhouse to get the most out of both crop and system. By combining your local knowledge and daily experience with our technical and horticultural expertise, we jointly improve yields, efficiency, and long-term performance

More than technology, it’s about partnership

Delivering a greenhouse is only the beginning.
Operate & Maintain is an integral part of Van der Hoeven’s full-service approach, ensuring that every project continues to grow in performance and sustainability long after delivery.
