KUBO Ultra-Clima High-Tech Greenhouse Concept

KUBO Group is a Dutch greenhouse company with more than 80 years of experience that designs and builds high-tech greenhouses for growers and investors in more than 45 countries. The group combines greenhouse construction with HAWE Cultivation Systems, PDI Screen Systems and SDF Horti Software, and addresses yield, energy efficiency and emissions in protected cultivation.

Its flagship Ultra-Clima concept is a greenhouse designed for maximum climate control, minimising ventilation losses, reusing heat and keeping CO2 levels stable so crops grow more uniformly with less stress. KUBO also offers the conventional Venlo greenhouse, cultivation systems for crop handling and space use, horticultural software for data and decision support, and long-term service. Its BlueLab test centre validates strategies such as year-round premium strawberry cultivation. Reference projects include tomato, cherry tomato, orchid and cress growers.

• Ultra-Clima greenhouse: high-control concept that limits ventilation losses and reuses heat.
• Venlo greenhouse: proven, scalable and lower-cost structure for easier expansion.
• HAWE cultivation systems: crop-handling and space-use systems inside the greenhouse.
• PDI screen systems: screening solutions for light and energy management.
• SDF Horti Software: data and decision-support tools for growers.
• BlueLab test centre: validates cultivation strategies such as year-round strawberries above 25 kg per m2.

• Agricultural investors in Lam Dong building glass greenhouses for premium tomatoes or strawberries for export and modern retail.
• Orchid and cut-flower companies upgrading to climate-controlled greenhouses with screening and cultivation systems.
• Industrial parks using waste heat or CO2 from factories to supply adjacent greenhouses.

• Up to about 10% higher yield per m2 for tomatoes through stable CO2 and precise climate management, according to KUBO.
• About 25% lower CO2 emissions with less CO2 dosing needed.
• Lower long-term operating costs and higher return on investment despite higher upfront cost.
• More uniform crops and less crop stress under extreme weather than standard Venlo greenhouses.

Investors in high-tech horticulture increasingly look beyond construction cost to lifetime energy use, emissions and yield stability, especially in extreme climates. In Vietnam and Southeast Asia, growing demand for premium tomatoes, strawberries and flowers is driving investment in climate-controlled glasshouses that can cope with heat and humidity.
