Automation solutions

For many horticultural businesses, automation is a game changer that helps them to scale up, streamline and increase efficiency.

We also know that in horticulture every business is unique. Therefore, automation solutions must be tailored and add value to your organisation while remaining cost-effective. That is why we have partnered with best-in-breed state-of-the-art solution providers such as Hortec, Cambridge HOK, Ridder and 30MHz to work alongside growers and create bespoke solutions that allow your business to thrive. 

What kind of automation solutions do we provide?
Examples of solutions that Fargro provide include water recycling, potting machinery, soil handling systems, trimming machines, tray automation, conveyors and more. Our technical team alongside experts from the relevant company can advise you on what our automation machinery and systems can achieve, and how they can best be utilised by your business. The bespoke solutions we design together with you can help your growing business realise its full potential.
