Austin, Texas-based LED lighting manufacturer Illumitex, Inc. has partnered with world-class greenhouse manufacturer GGS Structures Inc. of Ontario, Canada. The strategic alliance between the two companies will combine the most innovative horticultural lighting available with a greenhouse industry giant known the world over. The new team will provide complete growing solutions to all horticulture markets including vegetable, flower and medicinal cannabis in both greenhouse and controlled environment agriculture applications.
GGS Structures IllumitexGGS has designed, manufactured, and installed commercial greenhouse structures since 1979 and is the No. 1 choice for greenhouse growers and garden centers all over the world. GGS (www.ggs-greenhouse.com) understands that each project is unique and works tirelessly with customers to ensure growers maximize crop value via best-in-class structural facilities, heating, cooling, ventilation, benches, irrigation, environmental controls and many other greenhouse supplies.
“Illumitex could not be more excited to partner with a company that has the integrity, reputation and proven track record that GGS has,” notes Eric Anderson, VP of Business Development at Illumitex. “GGS has been an industry leader in the greenhouse and plant growth market for many years.”
Illumitex has radically transformed traditional LED design with the creation of LED lighting that emits highly uniform and precise illumination directly from the source to the plant canopy. With die-level optical integration, inefficient secondary optics to control the light are unnecessary, opening the world of horticulture lighting to more versatile and energy efficient options than ever before imagined.
“We know that LED is the future of horticultural lighting, whether it is sole-sourced or supplemental, and we have seen everything on the market. Nothing we have seen can compare to the performance and plant growth expertise that Illumitex is offering to the plant growth industry,” said Gerry Harrison, GGS Vice President.
