In 2011, HortiMaX joined Ridder,adding Water Treatment Systems, Climate Computers, and Labour Management Systems to our portfolio and boosting our international growth.
Ridder founded Climate Screens to capitalize on the opportunity to deliver locally produced, innovative screening solutions for light and energy management.
Ridder is investing in cutting-edge technologies to shape the future of the industry, with a strong focus on robotics and digitalization. As part of this commitment, Ridder partners with the start-up MetoMotion, which developed GRoW—the first harvesting robot capable of picking, analyzing, and boxing tomatoes.
Today, Ridder has grown into a global player in the field of smart greenhouse technology.
