“We are a laboratory that provides services for plant breeding and plant production companies. Our core activity is plant tissue culture, which is the cultivation of plants on artificial nutrient media. All of the laboratories we’ve built – from climate chambers and cooling systems to the complete lab setup – have been carried out by Geerlofs at every location. It’s truly custom work, and that requires close coordination. A lot changes during construction, and in Geerlofs we’ve found a reliable partner who can easily adapt to those changes. Last year, we started building a new laboratory in Ghana. The entire lab and the cooling technology setup there are being handled by Geerlofs.”
Eloy Boon, Director/Owner of Iribov
“Marco from Geerlofs is a technician, I’m a technician, and I have to say: that makes for a smooth collaboration. Geerlofs offers something we truly value: the ability to remotely monitor the production sites in terms of climate, while also serving as an alarm system. We simply cannot afford for the technical installations to fail. What’s really reassuring is that Geerlofs can log in from the Netherlands and view all the parameters of the technical systems. They can also guide local technicians or help troubleshoot issues. That definitely adds value for Iribov.”
