LettUs Grow Unveils New Aeroponic Rolling Bench for Greenhouse Growers

Key Takeaways:

• LettUs Grow introduced its Aeroponic Rolling Bench™, designed to integrate aeroponic irrigation with standard rolling bench systems for greenhouses.
• The product launch took place at LettUs Grow’s Aeroponic Innovation Centre in Bristol, UK, to a select group of industry partners and commercial growers.
• Industry partners such as Bosman Van Zaal, Meteor Systems, and Staal & Plast were recognized for their role in developing this new technology.
• The innovation supports LettUs Grow’s goal to make aeroponic solutions accessible in greenhouse operations worldwide.

Showcase Event Highlights Industry Collaboration

LettUs Grow, a UK-based agritech company specializing in aeroponic technology, recently hosted a private event to unveil its Aeroponic Rolling Bench™ at Heath Farm, their Aeroponic Innovation Centre in Bristol. The event brought together industry partners and horticultural innovators from the UK and EU, reinforcing LettUs Grow’s vision to scale aeroponic solutions for greenhouse use globally. Notable attendees included Bosman Van Zaal, Meteor Systems, and Staal & Plast, who have been instrumental in manufacturing components for the Aeroponic Rolling Bench.

Introducing Aeroponics to Greenhouse Systems

Until now, LettUs Grow’s ultrasonic aeroponic irrigation system was primarily applied within vertical farming setups. The new Aeroponic Rolling Bench™, however, integrates this technology with standard rolling benches found in greenhouses, offering a new solution for large-scale growers. This system aims to boost productivity and enhance crop yield targets, making aeroponic technology more accessible for traditional greenhouse operations.

Comments from LettUs Grow and Partners

Charlie Guy, CEO of LettUs Grow, described the event as a milestone for the company, highlighting the importance of industry collaboration in the product’s development. “This day marks an important milestone in our company’s development in the greenhouse sector,” he remarked. “We’ve always known that collaboration is absolutely vital in the agritech industry, and we are both proud and grateful that so many of our partners who made this product possible could join us for this celebration.”

Bas Dirven, R&D Manager at Meteor Systems, commented on the collaborative efforts, noting, “It’s inspiring to see our collaboration come to life and connect with others involved in this journey. We’ve been working with LettUs Grow to develop custom aeroponic plug trays tailored to their system, and we’re excited to see the impact our efforts will have on the cultivation process and for growers using the technology.”

Following the positive feedback from attendees, LettUs Grow will be releasing information on future events and tours throughout 2025 exclusively to their newsletter subscribers, and on the LettUs Grow website.
