About Us
“When every grower’s objectives, needs and environment are unique, why are lighting solutions so generic? Bloem’s ethos is built upon the principle that collaborative customisation delivers optimal results.”
“To optimally design a solution, we must first understand the grower’s objectives, needs and environment. We ask, listen and collaboratively create customised solutions of the highest quality, tailored to our grower’s needs within their application.”
A Global Challenge
The global food crisis is undeniable, but it’s also solvable.
Future generations will rely on CEA to ensure there is enough fresh food for the increasing population.
Lighting has a pivotal role, typically accounting for 30% of an indoor farm’s CAPEX & OPEX.
Every farm is unique from their goals & objectives to their specific crop needs.
Far too often manufacturers ignore the individual lighting needs of the farm, preferring to sell an ‘off the shelf product’.
This forces growers to compromise, resulting in lower productivity and higher cost of ownership.
Optimal results are achieved by customising the solution to the grower’s needs.
Surely all manufacturers have a responsibility to provide farmers with the optimal tools to succeed?
When individual growers lighting requirements are met, the future of food security gets brighter.
We Customise, You Optimise
Bloem is built on the ethos that collaborative customisation enables vertical farm operators & greenhouse growers to maximise productivity & optimise cost-of-ownership.
Bloem’s mission is three-fold:
Every solution is customised to our grower’s needs and unique environment.
Optimising our grower’s lifecycle cost of ownership is central to every solution.
Our success is determined by our growers achieving their long-term objectives.
