Bom Group

Company Description

Bom Group was founded in 1966 as a greenhouse construction company, but soon expanded with the screening- and climate division. Our screening division was founded in 1977 and our climate division in 1983. Over the years our three divisions have been closely intertwisted and are able to realize large turnkey projects under the name: Bom Group. Bom Group is a leading turnkey partner which means that we are able of taking on, and realizing, an entire project from A to Z. Bom Group is besides horticultural architect also the developer, engineer, producer, advisor and constructor of the project.

Innovation

Innovation has always been one of the most important pillars of our organisation. With an impressive portfolio of innovations, Bom Group is recognized as one of the founding fathers of the modern glass greenhouse industry. In 1982 we became worldwide famous with the introduction of the revolutionary aluminium gutter. The aluminium gutter (1982) was a ground-breaking innovation by Bom Group and is nowadays the standard gutter in greenhouse horticulture. Besides the aluminium gutter, Bom Group has a large innovation portfolio. We innovate based on developments in the market, climate, energy, crop, customer demand and many other factors.

Portfolio

Bom Group has already over 65.000.000 m2 of worldwide experience and a proven track-record

with efficient and highly profitable turnkey-projects across the globe. Besides our large scale turnkey

projects we are also specialists in high-tech training facilities. Together with research institutions and (local) government we have built several state-of-the-art research facilities such as KAS2030, All-Climate- Greenhouse, Winterlight Greenhouse and The Water Saving Greenhouse. These Bom Group ‘’specials’’ are investments in order to lift the whole horticultural sector to the next level and to achieve higher productions with lower costs, energy- and water consumptions!

Turnkey

Bom Group is a leading turnkey partner. Over the years, Bom Group has gained a lot of experience with turnkey end-to-end projects. We accompany the customer from the very beginning to the absolute end. In this process we can help the customer with feasibility studies, advice, cultivation guidance, on-site training, consultancy and after completion we stay connected to monitor his processes where necessary.

When it comes to a turnkey project, we work closely together with experts and partners in the sector but Bom Group remains main contractor of the project. It is our goal to completely unburden the customer. We arrange the entire process from A to Z.

Take for example our Low Carbon Farming project. Bom Group is main contractor of this 290.000 m2 project which is one of the most sustainable greenhouse projects in the United Kingdom. In this project we use waste-heat from a nearby water-treatment station to warm up the greenhouses. Low Carbon Farming is an overarching project consisting of three locations, namely: Place Farms 127.000 m2, Crown Point North 94.000 m2, Crown Point South 67.000 m2. In these greenhouses tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers will be grown, which will meet about 5% of the domestic demand.

Bom Group is the main contractor for this project, which means that in addition to greenhouse, screening, climate, water and electricity, we have also provided all utilities. The ‘’new normal’’ demands complete end-to-end turnkey solutions and this project, Low Carbon Farming, cantherefore be called turnkey ‘’plus’’!
