PAR+ is on a mission to increase yield inside greenhouses in a sustainable manner with a revolutionary coating. These past years,we have executed different pilots and achieved positive results on crop quality and crop growth. By making the light diffuse, we can increase the yield of a greenhouse by as much as 6 - 8% annually, with a lifetime for at least 8 years.

We develop coatings that exhibit excellent optical, chemical, and physical properties. Therefore, we are always on the lookout to improve our coating formulation. By testing different materials and optimizing the formulation, you will be helping us to bring the most satisfying coating product to all the greenhouses in the world.
