“ We were constitute back in 2009 , when there was only a handful of light-emitting diode companies on the market , and the technology itself was still raising eyebrows , ” suppose Nemanja Rodic , Marketing Director of Valoya . “ In thosedays , LED mean only pierce , purple light . We changed that by introducing the first livid light spectra to the market . ”
The global horticulture firing market has been steady growing for a farsighted time and is projected to keep doing so . The largest part of its growth are light-emitting diode , come in as replacement for traditional techniques like HPS and fluorescent , which as LED become more available , will find it intemperately to compete . “ Furthermore , the COVID-19 pandemic has increase a sentiency of importunity regarding intellectual nourishment security around the earth , which will result in an increase in locally grown green goods within indoor farms . ”
The company was , from its early day , surprise by the electropositive response to the products . Scientists were the first to recognise the value of the LED , and universities and enquiry institution from around the world reached out . “ That ’s why there are so many pedantic publications with our LEDs . We quickly grew our product portfolio to include solutions for commercial horticulture as well , and we have sold to over 50 countries . ”
trend and developmentsRecent years were marked with an exponential outgrowth in the telephone number of lead providers . " Some trade shows list as many as 80 unlike light-emitting diode companies as exhibitioner . Most of the technology present is indistinguishable , white LED lighting , quite like to office space illumination . ” This intend that technology has become commodified , and growers may face even more confusion when choosing .
“ The growth has progressed in our reason of what we can do with LEDs . More works test have been impart , and we have a better insight now into just how far we can push the plants in terminal figure of phenotype or chemical composition , or amount of biomass that we desire as outcome . It ’s about the photobiology expertness and the research behind it , now . ”
Nemanja expects that LED will proceed to become more efficient , and the company will carry on to pile up knowledge on the plant response to lighter , leave in even more efficient polish . This will be complement with further mundaneness of the LED offering , such as the troupe ’s LightDNA short letter , which enables easy replication of sun spectra from any part of the world .
“ On top of that , sensor and IoT utilisation , once it is mature enough to be commercialize , will bring note value to growers . ” He thinks that the number of light-emitting diode companies will reduce , both among young company that conjoin the subspecies in the past 5 years , as among those who were with the first few . “ The market is giving , but not big enough for 80 or more companies . ”
ProductsValoya ’s LED get along with the photobiology expertise build through over 600 flora trials , on over 300 plant species / miscellany . “ Whatever variety a grower may be interested in growing , fortune are we ’ve conducted wide tests on it , and can render accurate outgrowth protocols at no charge . ” This know - how is how the company see growers go from an idea to a vendible intersection in the most effective way .
The BX serial , versatile , gamey chroma light-emitting diode bars , suitable for growth chambers and indoor farms , are democratic . They come in unlike lengths , have IP67 rating , are dimmable and certify to all relevant standards and certificates . “ This product elucidate various growth environments , from growth chamber of some of the world ’s expectant AG company , to cannabis growers across North America and beyond . ”
COVID-19“Luckily , we have not been negatively affect by the implications of the COVID-19 outbreak . On the one hand , the outside working way is not new for us , and on the other handwriting , most of our ware are made here in Finland where we have a good element stock , so yield was able to move on uninterrupted . This unusual circumstance the populace finds itself in , has pushed certain businesses to make conclusion quicker , so we have received orders from parts of the mankind concerned with solid food security , such as the Middle East .
" Our industry and the whole domain are facing a challenge like none other in our life-time . We have to proceed with our business insensible as so many reckon on what we do , day to twenty-four hours . We are part of supply concatenation that secure food for thought we all wipe out , and we must not forget that as we move from sleeping room to life room to sit in front of computers and deal with partners scattered around the globe , we ’re faced with the same circumstances . It ’s just to remain patient and understanding with each other , as we are all in this together . ”
Valoya was build on curiosity to search what the possibility of luminance may be . It seeks to avail its client by providing sprightliness give way igniter that make solid food and medicine yield more effective . “ Our mission in these perturbing times is more relevant than ever , and we are cognisant of that and grateful that we get to do what we do . ”
