What Climate Control Systems Inc does

Climate Control Systems Inc. (CCS), founded in 1985 and headquartered in Leamington, Ontario, Canada, manufactures hardware and software platforms for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) automation. Its product portfolio centers on three integrated systems: the Fertigation Manager™ for precise fertilizer blending and irrigation control (supporting up to 100 valves and 12 injectors), the Climate Manager™ for distributed environmental control of temperature, humidity, VPD, and CO₂ across up to 32 zones, and the Ozone Pro Water Treatment System™ for chemical-free water sterilization and recycling using nano-bubble plasma ozone technology. The platform is extended through add-on modules such as the Epic Controller real-time monitoring program and the CCS-3 soil/substrate moisture sensor, plus greenhouse hardware including vent motors, control panels, and rack-and-pinion systems.

The company serves commercial greenhouse growers, licensed cannabis cultivators, vertical and container farming operations, hydroponic growers, and research institutions. Notable named customers include Canopy Growth, Curaleaf, Rochester Farms, MÜV Enterprises, Aqualitas, Alfa Tech Singapore, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Harrow Research and Development Centre. CCS operates a custom-quote sales model with multi-year contracts and offers annual service-level agreements (SLAs) for technical support and software updates, supplemented by replacement-parts revenue and an authorized North American distribution agreement for Watts Water Technologies reverse osmosis systems. The company is privately held and has been a subsidiary of Waterloo, Ontario-based Nebula Group since 2019, with systems installed across more than 16 countries.

Core offering

Climate Control Systems Inc manufactures and sells integrated greenhouse and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) automation systems. Its core offerings include the Fertigation Manager™ (precise fertilizer blending and irrigation control), Climate Manager™ (environmental and climate control), and Ozone Pro Water Treatment System™ (water sterilization and recycling). The company sells directly to commercial growers, cannabis cultivators, vertical farmers, and research institutions, complemented by distributed Watts reverse osmosis systems and supporting greenhouse hardware (sensors, vent motors, control panels).

Product overview

Climate Control Systems Inc offers a modular greenhouse and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) automation platform built around three core integrated systems: the Fertigation Manager™ for precise fertilizer blending and irrigation control, the Climate Manager™ for environmental climate control, and the Ozone Pro Water Treatment System™ for water sterilization and recycling. These core products work in collaboration, with the Fertigation Manager supporting up to 100 irrigation valves and 100 grow zones, the Climate Manager controlling up to 32 climate zones, and the Ozone Pro handling water treatment from 10-1000 GPM. The platform is extended through add-on modules like the Epic Controller for real-time monitoring, the FCS2 Precision Fertigation Manager for additional zones and recipes, and a full line of sensors (CO2, EC, pH, soil moisture) and equipment (vent motors, control panels, rack and pinion systems). The company also distributes Watts Commercial Reverse Osmosis systems as an authorized North American distributor.
