Precise control is of high importance

Codema B-E De Lier has carried out the electrical and water technical installations at all of his locations. Blueberries are fragile plants and therefore precise control is of high importance. Codema B-E de Lier has been supplying to soft fruit growers for years and understands that this cultivation requires extremely efficient irrigation and fertilization.

A lot of knowledge and experience in high-tech

Leon Schrijnwerkers explains: ”Codema B-E de Lier thinks thoroughly about the design and the development. Their installations are of good quality and last a long time. They have a lot of knowledge and experience in high tech horticulture and that’s noticeable. We have been doing business with them for thirty years. Although it is so busy in the horticulture industry, Codema B-E De Lier is still able to provide a good service. If I have a question, they follow-up quickly and handle it properly. I would certainly recommend them to other blue berry growers.’’
