Grodan Group opens production line in Canada
Grodan will be able to respond faster to specific customer needs in the North American horticulture market and minimize delivery lead times.
Production on the new line will start in July. The new production lines are state of the art and meet the highest standards within the Rockwool Group. This specific line will produce slabs for the professional horticulture industry. A quality control system has been set up to secure the highest product quality using the most efficient
and effective production method.
Hub Janssen, managing director of the Grodan Group explains: " This is a great step forward for the Grodan Group. Not only will we be able to produce the highest quality stone wool substrates, but we can also considerably improve our time to market. This will result in an increased flexibility and speed in answering to our customer needs. With the new production line, we are prepared to meet the increasing demand for our products in the North American market."
By producing products in North America, the Grodan Group will take substantial steps in reducing the distance that products are transported to our customers, minimizing yearly freight between Europe and North America and leading to a decrease in CO2 emissions. These benefits are in line with the Grodan Group strategy to provide
customers with the most sustainable solutions for their growing needs.
Nine jobs have been created since the installment of the production line and another 18 jobs are expected to open during the course of this year.
