Functional benefit
Products and services
- Aeroponic Rolling Bench™ (ARB) The world's first platform engineered specifically for large-scale commercial aeroponic operations, combining the functionality and reliability of standard hydroponic rolling bench systems with the yield and root health benefits of aeroponics. Designed for commercial glasshouse and indoor farm operators for both new-build and retrofit installation.
- Advanced Aeroponics™ Technology Patented aeroponic irrigation technology using ultrasonic atomisers to generate nutrient-dense mist delivered directly to plant roots suspended in air, providing higher oxygen levels to root zones than hydroponics, improving plant health, disease resistance, and growth rates.
- Ostara Farm Management Software Farm management software used to control LettUs Grow's indoor farming research facilities, enabling monitoring and optimization of growing operations, including growing environment and operations control at the Bristol research centre.
- Bespoke Agronomy Services Expert agronomy support including growth recipe optimisation, nutrient strategy, system performance monitoring, and ongoing support after installation, provided by LettUs Grow's growing services team working directly with growers.
- Research & Development Services Bespoke crop trials and R&D programmes for growers, research institutions, universities, and grant-funded projects conducted at LettUs Grow's Bristol facilities, including proof-of-concept trials, crop validation, and full scientific reporting.
- Licensed Technology Programme Licensing programme allowing delivery partners to incorporate Advanced Aeroponics™ technology into their projects, providing access to patented aeroponic technology without changing existing workflows.

LettUs Grow competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- AeroFarms: Newark-based vertical farming operator that has historically used aeroponic growing systems at commercial scale. Most directly comparable to LettUs Grow in terms of aeroponic technology adoption and serving commercial CEA customers, though AeroFarms grows crops directly rather than licensing hardware.
- Priva: Dutch provider of climate, process, and water control systems for commercial greenhouses and indoor farms. Comparable as a technology/equipment provider selling integrated hardware and software into the same commercial glasshouse customer base that LettUs Grow targets, though Priva is far broader in scope.
- Ridder Group: Dutch horticultural technology specialist offering climate screens, irrigation, water treatment, and automation systems for greenhouses. Comparable as a CEA equipment and systems provider serving overlapping commercial grower customers, with similar channel-partner-led distribution.
- Certhon: Dutch turnkey greenhouse and indoor farming solutions provider offering engineering, construction, and growing systems. Comparable as a turnkey CEA technology provider to commercial growers and an active LettUs Grow peer in the global delivery ecosystem.
- KUBO Group (HAWE Cultivation Systems): Dutch greenhouse constructor and cultivation systems manufacturer (parent of LettUs Grow partner HAWE). Comparable as a CEA infrastructure and equipment provider that competes for the same glasshouse build projects, with the additional overlap of being a current LettUs Grow delivery partner.
Emerging players
- Valoya: Finnish provider of horticultural LED lighting and light recipes for vertical farms and greenhouses. Comparable as an equipment/technology vendor selling into the same commercial CEA customer base, focused specifically on the lighting subset of the grow stack.
Broad incumbents
- Grodan: Global supplier of stone-wool growing substrates used in hydroponic and CEA production. Comparable as a major incumbent supplier into commercial greenhouse operations, though operating in substrates rather than irrigation; serves the same customers LettUs Grow targets.
- Plenty: US-based vertical farming operator using proprietary indoor growing systems for leafy greens. Comparable as a deep-tech CEA operator pursuing advanced growing technologies, though Plenty grows and sells crops directly rather than licensing hardware like LettUs Grow.
- Bowery Farming: US-based vertical farming operator serving retail with hydroponically-grown leafy greens. Comparable as a sophisticated CEA grower operating at commercial scale and developing proprietary indoor farming systems, representing the demand side of the same market LettUs Grow supplies.
Regional players
- Logiqs: Dutch provider of internal logistics and bench/rolling systems for commercial greenhouses and vertical farms. Comparable to LettUs Grow's Aeroponic Rolling Bench product on the mechanical infrastructure side, with overlap on the same Dutch delivery partner ecosystem (KG Systems, GreenV).
