Australia’s Leading Source of Greenhouse Equipment, Supplies and Technical Systems
Understanding the Needs of Commercial Greenhouse Growers
Powerplants of Australia is a leading supplier of horticultural technical systems, greenhouse equipment and supplies. The company was conceived in 1994 by brothers David and Carl van Loon, who were raised on a successful plant propagation nursery in Australia. As adults, they could see there was a need for technical expertise in the industry, and Powerplants was conceived of their understanding of what commercial greenhouse growers need to be successful:
- State-of-the-art greenhouse horticulture technology
- A wide variety of the highest quality greenhouse equipment and supplies
- On-premises manufacturing to provide independence from importing
- In-depth understanding of local Australian conditions and needs
- On-schedule professional installation
- Their “Get It Right the First Time” Philosophy so there are no costly mistakes
- Exceptional customer service that goes above and beyond what customers expect
After Carl van Loon finished his studies in Mechanical Engineering at RMIT and then Horticulture at Burnley College, the brothers started Powerplants. Today Powerplants is one of Australia’s leading suppliers of horticultural technical systems, greenhouse equipment and supplies. With increased competition and other pressures on greenhouse growers, the need for technical knowledge and backup is more vital today than ever, and Powerplants is well known for staying abreast of the latest developments in technology that can improve your commercial greenhouse business.
Powerplants is a founding member of the Hortworks Group, which is a combination of Powerplants and Sydney-based AIS Greenworks. Together we offer growers a total and integrated solution in products and systems for growers - from hand-held instruments to small or large turnkey projects.
Powerplants is presently directed by Carl, as David van Loon is running a successful Horticultural Consultancy specializing in greenhouse project design and management. Carl and his highly trained staff are dedicated to customer service, and Powerplants is proud to have been honoured for 6 consecutive years with Australian Achiever Awards for Excellence in Customer Service.
“When you plan your next project or system upgrade, we hope you think Powerplants - we promise to give you honest advice, greenhouse equipment, supplies and products that will fulfill your needs--and we will strive to 'get it right the first time.’
We look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards!”
