Located in Brazil, Ven Flor is a flourishing operation dedicated to the production of more than 20 different types of ornamental crops, including various species of orchids, palms, zamioculcas, and chrysanthemums, which primarily are sold to the Brazilian market - a market that continues to experience increasing demand for high quality plants.
Even with a warm temperate climate, the ability to meet the growing market demands for the many different varieties Ven Flor is known for, brings about diverse climate challenges. High temperatures and light management were a big concern at the company's Holambra location, which produces phalaenopsis, dendrobium and spathiphyllum in a 5 Ha poly house.
To combat such challenges certain factors had to be taken into consideration, and being that Ven Flor is a company which is concerned about the environment and follows strict environmentally friendly policies, they saw the need to install more active shading and climate control systems.
