From controllers to comprehensive ventilation solutions for horticulture
The SKOV-SERCOM global vision is based on the long and rich history of two strong companies that combine extensive knowledge of growers’ needs with high-quality ventilation systems. For more than 40 years, SKOV A/S has been a key player in ventilation and farm management for animal production, while SERCOM Regeltechniek B.V. has been a supplier of high-end control solutions for the horticulture industry.
Together, we are now SKOV-SERCOM!
“SKOV is known as a worldwide systems supplier for animal production, and this system approach will also be implemented in SKOV-SERCOM,” says Leo Østergaard, CEO of SKOV A/S.
What makes SKOV-SERCOM the ideal choice for clients?
Similar to the agricultural sector, the horticulture industry relies heavily on precise, robust, and energy-efficient climate solutions to ensure profitability for growers. “For years, we have delivered on this principle to the pig and poultry industry worldwide. With SKOV-SERCOM, we are now dedicated to extending this service to customers in the horticulture industry,” says Leo Østergaard. However, the differences between the horticultural and agricultural markets are so substantial that you need a strong partner who understands the market to enter it effectively. “I am confident that the merger of SKOV and SERCOM will result in significant synergies. SERCOM brings over 40 years of experience in the horticulture industry, while SKOV contributes with expertise in high-quality ventilation systems, financial strength, and a global market approach”, says Leo Østergaard.
SKOV-SERCOM’s long-term goal is to become a major player in global ventilation solutions for the horticultural industry. However, entering a new business is not easy. “We are not underestimating the challenge of entry into a new business area with strong competitors. It will require hard work, perseverance, and innovative solutions. We know this from our current business areas, and we are confident that we will also succeed in this area”, concludes Leo Østergaard.
