The real Dutch climate screen

18 August 2019 | Int. Greenhouse Guide | Ridder

In response to the growing demand for high quality alternatives, Ridder Climate Screens entered the dynamic world of climate screens in February 2015. Greenhouse builders, installers and growers all expressed an increasing need for a screen supplier able to compete with the existing range on offer. Four years on and with more than 3000 hectares of screens installed worldwide, Ridder Climate Screens is poised to launch the next innovation: a climate screen produced entirely in the Netherlands.

Synergy
Over the past four years, we have proven ourselves in the market to be a reliable supplier of climate, energy-saving, light diffusing and blackout screens. We have demonstrated the importance of thinking with the market and rapidly responding to the needs of greenhouse builders and installers. The synergy within the Ridder Group allows us to optimally utilise an extremely extensive network and benefit from a wealth of knowledge and experience to offer service worldwide. An added value of great appeal to the market. At our head office in Maasdijk, we have our own weaving machines for the fabric used in the screens. This means we can facilitate the increasing demand even better and provide customers with a 100% Dutch climate screen in the right format even faster.

Quality assurance
As well as fast delivery times, providing our customers with a product of outstanding quality is equally as important. Quality that this sector served by Ridder is accustomed to. By basing production at the innovative heart of the international horticultural sector, this quality can be monitored and assured and expertise, experience and ambition united. This has already created additional scope for research and the development of new innovations.

Helping you grow your way
This strategy has also made us the first supplier to produce the climate screen fabric in the Netherlands. We are extremely proud of the step we were able to take thanks to the confidence shown in us by our customers. Together we are putting a high quality Dutch Ridder product on the map in the horticultural market worldwide and spreading the message “Helping you grow your way” from the Westland region to North America and from Asia to the Middle East.
