What Horti XS does
Horti XS B.V. is a privately held Dutch turnkey greenhouse engineering firm headquartered in Poeldijk, Netherlands (Westland region), with a secondary operations office in Wateringen. The company designs, supplies, installs, and commissions high-tech greenhouse complexes for commercial horticultural operators, offering four greenhouse variants (Venlo, Venlo Adaptive, Wide-Span, and Film) integrated with heating, watertechnical, and electrotechnical systems. It employs approximately 20 full-time engineers across constructional, heating, cooling, electrical, and software disciplines, and manufactures components in the Netherlands, China, and Turkey to support international project economics.
The business model is project-based and turnkey: revenue is generated primarily from one-time delivery of complete greenhouse projects, supplemented by professional services revenue from agronomical support (on-site grower guidance for the first six months, then remote online), greenhouse staff training programs, and ongoing hardware supply of auxiliary equipment such as roofwashers, spraying equipment, grading machines, and packing lines. Pricing is bespoke and quotation-based, with no publicly disclosed rates. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via technical consultants, supported by a multi-language website (English, Chinese, Arabic, Kurdish) and active social channels. After-sales service operates 24/7.
Customer evidence shows active or completed projects across five countries — the Netherlands (van Veen Gerbera), Romania (Fundulea 1.2 ha, Fermierul 2 ha), Poland (Belka 1.5 ha, 2015), India (Nature's Miracle 2 ha), and China (Qingyun 7 ha, Nanchang 4 ha) — covering vegetables, gerberas, tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicums, and strawberries. Strategic channel support in China is delivered through a core partnership with Beijing Ruixue Global, alongside technology integrations with Ridder, Hoogendoorn, Priva, and others. Leadership is led by CEO Robert van der Lans, supported by a Technical Director, Sales Director, and project management staff. The company is founder/management-operated with no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity.
