Dalsem Develops 2.5-Hectare Cucumber Greenhouse for Kas.Ko in the Netherlands
Dutch greenhouse construction company Dalsem is developing a new 2.5-hectare cucumber greenhouse facility for grower Kas.Ko in Den Hoorn, Netherlands. The project supports Kas.Ko's growth strategy and represents a deliberate shift in Dalsem's focus toward the Dutch and European markets after a period of concentration on large-scale international projects.
Kas.Ko, led by entrepreneurs Stef Zwinkels and Bart de Groot, will use the expansion to increase production capacity and advance the professionalization of its operations.
“For us, this is a logical next step,” said Kas.Ko. “We are building on what we have established and creating room to continue growing as a company.”
Dalsem Refocuses on Dutch and European Greenhouse Market
The Kas.Ko project marks a visible reorientation for Dalsem toward its home market, where the company sees renewed investment activity from growers in modernization and operational scale. The new facility is being built as a modern, efficient production environment targeting stable cucumber output and responding to demand for locally produced, reliable fresh products.
“We are seeing growers in the Netherlands actively invest again in modernisation and scale,” said Dalsem. “This project demonstrates that there is also room here for high-quality, future-focused greenhouse development, where technology and efficiency come together.”
A Platform for Future-Proof Dutch Horticulture
Dalsem describes the project as part of a wider ambition to contribute to the development of a sustainable and competitive greenhouse horticulture sector in the Netherlands and across Europe, positioning itself for continued growth in a market showing renewed momentum.
