Technology serving quality

Among the most modern facilities for growing cut baby-leaf salads, designed to guarantee product and service quality and safety for customers.

Cultivation

Modular, innovative structures

The structure of the group's farms incorporates several technologically innovative elements. Below are some of the technologies adopted across our growing sites.

Modular multi-tunnels

Member farms are essentially "modular": the base structure consists of wide, tall multi-tunnels made of galvanised steel.

Smart ventilation

The ventilation system is twofold: a "gull-wing" type, named after how the window opens, and a simpler "double-window" system.

Optimised irrigation

Two types of systems: automated sliding bars or sprinklers of varying capacity. The water used is sourced exclusively from wells.

Harvesting & processing

Every stage optimised for quality and wholesomeness

For harvesting and processing, we use specialised machinery able to optimise every stage of the process, to achieve the best possible quality and wholesomeness.

  • Use of electric machinery for harvesting and other processing phases to reduce pollution
  • Deployment of drones that rapidly apply washable shading coatings to greenhouse glass or plastic roofs to protect crops from summer sun
  • Two automated washing lines for lamb's lettuce
  • Three rapid-cooling systems (Vacuum Cooler)
  • Cold rooms with a total surface of 900 m²
  • A line for packing polypropylene trays
