ErfGoed

What ErfGoed does

ErfGoed is a privately-held Dutch horticulture infrastructure company founded in 1958 and headquartered in Moerkapelle, the Netherlands. It designs, manufactures, and installs proprietary cultivation floors (ErfGoedFloor, available in Excellent, Premium, and Basic tiers) and integrated water management systems (ErfGoed WaterSystem) for greenhouse and nursery growers worldwide. The patented ErfGoedFloor delivers both water and air through a single underground pipe network built on a lava layer, enabling uniform bottom-up irrigation, active root-zone aeration, underfloor heating, CO2 injection, and a self-cleaning mechanism that reduces disease pressure and eliminates most disinfection requirements.

The company's product portfolio has expanded beyond floors to include the AirFlow System (active aeration retrofit), the Deep-float System co-developed with Meteor Systems for hydroponic lettuce cultivation, the ErfGoed Master Plan consulting service, and ancillary offerings such as the ErfGoed Valve, fire-retardant ground cloth, pot robots, and conveyor systems. ErfGoed generates revenue primarily through one-time sales and installation of capital equipment, supplemented by professional services revenue from Master Plan consulting and a content-driven marketing approach built on white papers, webinars, and a substantial customer-reference library. Distribution is enterprise-direct through three Area Sales Managers covering Benelux, DACH, broader Europe, the Americas, and APAC, supplemented by wholly-owned offices in Canada (Ontario and British Columbia) and Brazil (Holambra), and a regional agent in the UK. Customers include Koppert Cress, The Plant Company, Rijk Zwaan, Four Star Greenhouse, Westland Greenhouses, Johnsons of Whixley, and over 20 other named growers across ornamental, vegetable, berry, and seed-propagation segments.
