MONTRÉAL — Vertiberry, involved in indoor strawberry farming, has chosen Sollum’s LED lighting solution for its new facility in L’Assomption, Québec. Expected to be operational by the end of 2024, indoor TCEA facility will serve as a test bed for Vertiberry’s growing methods, which include both strawberry propagation and production.

“Our team is excited to partner with Sollum. We came to the conclusion that their dynamic lighting solution appears to be the most optimal to address our complex needs,” said Olivier Paulus, CEO & Founder of Vertiberry. “Sollum’s superior understanding of light’s role in plant development, combined with the team’s flexibility in addressing challenges to ensure our success, made them the ideal partner for our new facility”, he added.
