What Atrium Agri does

Atrium Agri B.V. is a privately held Dutch consortium headquartered in Bergschenhoek, Netherlands, that delivers turn-key Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) solutions to international greenhouse operators, investors and growers. Founded by Henk Verbakel (Havecon), Edward Verbakel (VB Group) and Koen Brabander (PB tec), the platform was built through a series of acquisitions beginning in 2019 and currently unites ten specialized partner companies covering the full horticultural value chain: greenhouse construction (Havecon, BOM Group, CambridgeHOK), climate and energy systems including geothermal (VB), electrical engineering and automation (PB tec, InFa Techniek), water and nutrient management (CE Water Solutions, formerly CE-Line), hydroponic substrates (JB Hydroponics), polycarbonate materials (Kascoplex), screening systems (SCRE3NS), internal logistics (VH Systems), APAC distribution (Powerplants), and trading/consultancy (June T&C).

The consortium's technology stack is anchored by the Atrium ClimaTune joint venture with Advanced Climate Systems, giving Atrium Agri worldwide exclusivity on the BaOpt diffuse-ventilation climate system with self-learning AI control. Adjacent proprietary capabilities include AgriData Innovations' computer-vision crop analytics, CE-Line's capillary-electrophoresis real-time nutrient measurement (acquired from bankruptcy by PB tec in August 2025), and VB's geothermal heating expertise. Customers include AppHarvest, Little Leaf Farms, Pure Harvest Smart Farms (UAE), Dyson Farming, United Farms (Mexico), Flora Pack and Demers (Canada), Beekenkamp Plants, Duijvestijn Brothers and Syngenta, with projects delivered across Europe, North and Central America, the Middle East, Japan and the Asia-Pacific region.

Atrium Agri makes money primarily through project-based, quote-driven turn-key contracts covering design, engineering, procurement and construction of large-scale greenhouses, supplemented by hardware sales (technical installations, polycarbonate materials, hydroponic substrates, screening systems, internal logistics), real-time monitoring hardware with attached data services (CE-Line), and—since October 2025—recurring trading margins through June T&C's Fast Moving Grower Goods business. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with long sales cycles, supported by a cross-referral network across the consortium's member brands, the Atrium Agri website, and industry events such as GreenTech Amsterdam. The consortium reported revenue of €225 million in 2023 with approximately 375 employees and is currently pursuing a strategic stake from Value Enhancement Partners (pending ACM approval) alongside the announced 2026 integration of BOM Group and Havecon.

Revenue model

1. Greenhouse Construction & Turn-key CEA Solutions: Design, engineering, procurement, and construction of large-scale high-tech greenhouses and CEA facilities through member companies (Havecon, BOM Group, CambridgeHOK, VB). Revenue is project-based, typically multi-year contracts for new construction or major expansion. Revenue recognized over project duration as construction progresses. This is the primary revenue driver for the consortium.
2. Technical Installations & Systems Integration: PB tec provides electrical engineering, lighting, water technology, and automation systems for greenhouses. InFa Techniek delivers water and electrical systems. Revenue is generated through project-specific system design, manufacturing, and installation contracts. Often bundled with greenhouse construction projects or delivered as standalone upgrades.
3. Water & Nutrient Management Technology: CE Water Solutions provides monitoring systems (CE-Line) offering real-time insight into irrigation and drainage water composition. Revenue model combines hardware (monitoring units) with ongoing data services.
4. Consultancy Services: VEK Adviesgroep (formerly part of Atrium Agri, now departed) provided consultancy services for horticultural projects including business design, budgets, permits, subsidies, specifications, and tendering. June T&C provides cultivation consultancy for soft fruit, leafy greens, and high-tech greenhouses.
5. Hydroponic Cultivation Systems & Substrates: JB Hydroponics develops and produces hydroponic systems and substrates (substrate gutter systems for rock wool, perlite, cocopeat). Revenue from system sales, substrates, and turnkey substrate projects.
6. Greenhouse Building Materials: Kascoplex supplies polycarbonate sheets (Kascolite, Kascoplex, Kascobond) and related materials for greenhouse construction. Revenue from material sales to greenhouse builders and growers.
7. Screen Systems Installation: SCRE3NS provides tailor-made advice, technical knowledge, and installation crews for screen systems in greenhouse horticulture. Revenue from installation services and potentially screen materials.
8. Internal Logistics Systems: VH Systems designs, manufactures, and installs internal logistics systems for greenhouse horticulture. Revenue from custom system design, production, and installation projects.
