State-of-the-Art Commercial Greenhouse for Growing Cannabis

Background

White Lion Holdings is a cannabis growing consultancy with over 50 years cumulative growing experience and a footprint in more than half of South Africa’s commercial-scale cannabis farms.

Their experience includes working in testing laboratories and seed banks as well as cannabis grow operations and cannabis farms across the globe, including Amsterdam, the United States, Lesotho, Australia and Africa

Having perfected genetic breeding, cloning, distillation and extraction to achieve precise, predictable results, White Lion Holdings looked to Bosman Van Zaal South Africa to design and deliver a state-of-the-art commercial greenhouse to support their cultivation needs at scale.

Challenge

The solution implemented by Bosman Van Zaal needed to meet the following criteria:

• A high-tech, durable solution able to withstand severe climate conditions
• Full automation, enabling White Lion Holdings to dial into and maintain the precise parameters needed to produce a controlled environment for growing exceptional quality cannabis at scale, profitably.
• Technical support when needed and expertise to assist with the challenges of future expansion.

Solution

Through close collaboration with White Lion Holdings, Bosman Van Zaal were able to use their technical expertise and substantial industry knowledge to deliver a bespoke state-of-the art greenhouse build from architectural design right through to engineering and construction.

With all the technical engineering, professional support as well as maintenance aspects taken care of, the White Lion team were able to focus solely on doing what they do best, cultivating market leading cannabis.

Cornel Van Der Watt, director and chief cultivation officer at White Lion Holdings, who is looking to Bosman Van Zaal for support and solutions for future expansion challenges stated, “The project was a great success, the proof is in the pudding and we are still in constant communication with the Bosman Van Zaal team as we have been since inception of the project”.
