"The Finnish greenhouse sector is ready for DryGair's dehumidification systems. The opportunities for energy savings are substantial, and the government is incentivizing growers to improve energy efficiency through significant subsidies," says Matts-Erik Lindqvist, president of Hatec Baltic.
Growers Already Benefiting from DryGair
Hatec Baltic distributes DryGair's dehumidification systems in Finland. The veteran horticulture supplier has seen a lot of success with DryGair in recent years, selling and installing dozens of units in greenhouses around the country.
One satisfied customer is Patrik Sigg at Sven Sigg AB, who operates DG-12 units in highly advanced tomato greenhouses in Närpes. Since using DryGair, the vegetable producer has witnessed substantial energy savings, reaching 50%, as well as 40% savings on CO2 enrichments. "All together, Sigg estimates an ROI of less than 15 months on the DryGair investment," says Lindqvist.
DryGair's Technical Experts Visit Finland to Train Local Teams
In order to assist local customers, DryGair's technical team recently visited Finland. The visit was aimed at teaching local technicians on how to best maintain the units, as well as troubleshoot technical issues.
One stop in the visit was to Sven Sigg AB, one of the largest tomato producers in Finland. The company, which boasts a production capacity of 100 kg of tomatoes per m2, has recently installed over 60 DryGair units to control humidity and create ideal tomato growing conditions in their greenhouse.
The DryGair team also visited a lettuce and leafy green greenhouse in Kangasala. The producer, who is the first grower in Finland to install DryGair, runs 4 DG-12 units to control humidity and save energy.
"DryGair's technicians not only fixed an issue that occurred but also helped in optimizing the units to improve their water extraction rates in the conditions found in that greenhouse, together with the growers who have a lot of experience growing in the demanding Finnish climate," Lindqvist mentioned.
