What DAEYOUNG GS. CO., LTD does

DAEYOUNG GS. CO., LTD is a South Korea-based, privately held facility horticulture company headquartered in Daegu, with 25+ years of operating history since its 1993 founding as Daeyoung Industries. It specializes in the construction of semi-closed glass greenhouses and the distribution of agricultural materials, having built Korea's first (2017), fourth (2021), and fifth (2023) semi-closed glass greenhouse facilities, each spanning approximately three hectares. The company operates four locations across South Korea (Daegu headquarters, Haman factory, Gwangju Honam branch, Gimhae Gyeongnam branch), and holds ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications as well as government designations including Daegu City Star Enterprise (2021) and Regional Star Enterprise (2022).

Its core technology offering is the integrated semi-closed glass greenhouse, which combines proprietary greenhouse engineering (seven patents registered between 2018 and 2023) with a stack of imported Dutch and Israeli horticulture systems delivered through technology partnerships with Ridder, Kubo, Cultilene, Van Iperen, Dry Hydroponics, Growrite, Greefa, and Haifa. The company also operates the Advanced Greenhouse Research Institute (established 2019) and supplies complementary agricultural materials and inputs to commercial growers. Its go-to-market is domestic and project-based, generating revenue primarily through large-ticket greenhouse construction contracts supplemented by recurring sales of agricultural inputs. Customer segments are Korean commercial greenhouse operators and agricultural enterprises, with government and institutional relationships evidenced by public-sector designations and the 2022 Government Innovation Valley project participation.

Core offering

DAEYOUNG GS provides turnkey facility horticulture solutions through two divisions: an Engineering Division that designs and constructs semi-closed glass greenhouses with integrated climate, irrigation, screen and control systems, and an Agricultural Materials Division that supplies fertilizers, substrates and greenhouse equipment (grow lights, trolley cars, pest control systems, TOM training systems, sorting equipment) to commercial growers. The company also operates a corporate-affiliated Advanced Greenhouse Research Institute to drive R&D in controlled-environment agriculture technology.

Product overview

DYGS operates as a facility horticulture specialist offering an integrated portfolio of greenhouse engineering and agricultural materials. The core product is the semi-closed glass greenhouse, a patented forced-ventilation system combining incoming outside air with sealed internal air for optimal growing conditions. This core is complemented by eight engineering subsystems (covering materials, opening/closing systems, screen systems, irrigation systems, control systems, cooling/heating systems, and cultivation systems) and three fertilizer products (nutrient solution fertilizers, compound fertilizers, and functional fertilizers), two substrate products (rockwool and cocopeat), and various agricultural materials including grow lights, trolley cars, pest control systems, TOM systems, sorters, and other equipment. The company offers integrated solutions from greenhouse design through construction to control systems.
