OCTOBER 2021


At Kwintplant in the Netherlands, a recent expansion and renovation project has increased production capacity while upgrading climate control. Kwintplant grows a wide range of plants, making precise management of light and temperature essential for quality and consistency. For the expanded greenhouse, the company selected Harmony 8845 H FR climate screens from Svensson.


When asked why the business chose to expand and renovate, the grower explained the motivation behind the decision. “We needed more space, but we also wanted better control of the internal climate,” he said. “With the new screens, we can manage light and temperature much more precisely.”

Harmony stood out because of the even light distribution and the quality of the material. That was an important factor for us. We felt confident that Harmony 8845 H FR would give us the performance we needed.

Svensson: Why did you decide to expand and renovate the greenhouse?

Marcel Kwint: “We needed more space, but we also wanted better control of the internal climate. With the new screens, we can manage light and temperature much more precisely. That helps us deliver more consistent quality across all crops.”


Choice of climate screens

Svensson: How did you choose the right screen for your expanded greenhouse?

Marcel Kwint: “At the trade fair, we saw several screen options. Harmony stood out because of the even light distribution and the quality of the material. That was an important factor for us. We felt confident that Harmony 8845 H FR would give us the performance we needed.”


Installation experience

Svensson: How did the installation process go?

Marcel Kwint: “The installation team was careful to integrate the screens with our existing greenhouse infrastructure. They took the time to do it right, and we’re happy with the precision and attention to detail.”


Results and benefits

Svensson: What results have you seen since the installation?

Marcel Kwint: “Since we installed the Harmony screens, we’ve seen clear improvements in light diffusion and overall climate stability. We can keep conditions more consistent throughout the day. The light is spread more evenly, which benefits all our plants.”
