December 8, 2021
As Certhon celebrates its 125th anniversary, it is not difficult to imagine that much has changed over those years. Certhon has proven to be a market leader and knowledge expert that has worked on the most challenging horticultural projects in the world. Take the Certhon Harvest Robot, the SuprimAir Greenhouse they are currently building in Finland their project Madar Farms for example: world’s first indoor farm for growing fresh tomatoes on a commercial-scale, in the middle of the desert. On top of that, the Hillenraad100 has acknowledged Certhon as winner of the HillenraadTECH50. With that award, Certhon has proven itself as the most high-profile and promising company within horticultural technology. Being a market leader of its class, the identity of Certhon could no longer keep up its position.
Growing anything, anywhere. For everyone.
That is Certhon's promise to the world. A world that is not bound by the rules of growing. Where anything can be grown anywhere, no matter the season or climate. And where everyone in the world has access to healthy, safe and sustainable food. To deliver on that promise, Certhon combines its years of experience and horticultural knowledge, together with trustworthy techniques, plant science and artificial intelligence. That is how Certhon will completely change the world's growing systems from within. Tomatoes in the desert, lettuce in North America and strawberries in Hong Kong. Lotte van Rijn, General Manager at Certhon: "We are proud to show our new identity which meets our position in the market. In word, image and deed. Check out our new identity on www.certhon.com and discover how we enable the world to grow anything, anywhere."
Making the impossible, possible
Out of the comfort zone has never been more relevant in agribusiness than it is today. Lotte: “The food transition requires major challenges. But we see opportunities. Of course, we cannot change the world's growing systems in one day, and certainly not on our own. We are working together with growers, investors, researchers and other pioneers to create a better system. I invite you to share your ambitions with us. Challenge us. We are at our best when we make the impossible possible.”

Ontmoet het nieuwe Certhon - Een veranderende wereld, een nieuwe positie
Certhon viert haar 125-jarig bestaan en het is niet moeilijk voor te stellen dat er in al die jaren veel is veranderd. Certhon heeft bewezen een marktleider en kennispartner te zijn, die de meest uitdagende tuinbouwprojecten ter wereld realiseert. Neem bijvoorbeeld de Certhon Harvest Robot, de SuprimAir kas die momenteel in Finland wordt gebouwd of het project Madar Farms: 's werelds eerste indoor farm voor het kweken van verse tomaten op commerciële schaal, midden in de woestijn. Bovendien heeft de Hillenraad100 Certhon dit jaar erkend als winnaar van de HillenraadTECH50. Daarmee heeft Certhon zich bewezen als het meest spraakmakende en veelbelovende bedrijf binnen de tuinbouwtechnologie. Als marktleider van deze klasse kon de identiteit van Certhon niet langer achterblijven.
Growing anything, anywhere. For everyone.
Dat is de belofte van Certhon aan de wereld. Een wereld die niet gebonden is aan ‘teeltregels’. Waar alles overal kan worden geteeld, ongeacht het seizoen of het klimaat. En waar iedereen in de wereld toegang heeft tot gezond, veilig en duurzaam voedsel. Certhon combineert haar jarenlange ervaring en tuinbouwkennis met betrouwbare technieken, plantenwetenschap en kunstmatige intelligentie, om de teeltsystemen van de wereld van binnenuit volledig te veranderen. Tomaten in de woestijn, sla in Noord-Amerika en aardbeien in Hong Kong. Zo maakt Certhon deze belofte waar. Lotte van Rijn, General Manager bij Certhon: "We zijn er trots op onze nieuwe identiteit te presenteren. Een vernieuwde identiteit, die aansluit bij onze positie in de markt. In woord, beeld en daad. Bekijk het nieuwe Certhon op www.certhon.com en ontdek hoe wij de wereld in staat stellen om alles en overal te telen."
Het onmogelijke mogelijk maken
Buiten de comfort-zone is in de tuinbouwsector nog nooit zo relevant geweest als nu. Lotte: "De voedseltransitie vraagt om grote uitdagingen. Maar we zien ook kansen. Natuurlijk kunnen we de wereldwijde teeltsystemen niet in één dag veranderen, en zeker niet in ons eentje. We werken samen met telers, investeerders, onderzoekers en andere pioniers om een beter systeem te creëren. Ik nodig u uit om uw ambities met ons te delen. Daag ons uit. We zijn op ons best als we het onmogelijke mogelijk maken.”
