Innovation and diversification are at the root of the success here at Plastic Mouldings Northern Ltd (PMN), a North East based industry leader whose main output is the production of vacuum formed plastic parts on a regional, national and international scale.
The ethos at the heart of our company is ‘we never stand still’ as an industry innovator we’ve benefited from high growth, through leveraging our collaborative and innovative capabilities, alongside assessing new market opportunities.
Our recent furrow into a new and diverse sector has seen us collaborate with dynamic and forward-thinking horticultural engineering specialists in producing hydroponic trays (a vital piece of equipment for sustainable growth systems) for one of the UK’s largest vertical farms.
Vertical farming is one of the most innovative solutions for lowering the amount of energy, space, and water needed to grow food. Indoor Farming has seen a flurry of investment across the globe in recent years with many believing it holds the future for food production.
Using the latest hydroponic systems and LED technology, crops are grown year-round in the perfect, pesticide free environment using 100% renewable energy. Thanks to a controlled environment, each tiny leaf tastes as good as the last, with greens unaffected by the weather and seasonal changes, and thanks to prime urban locations unseen in farming before, there is no need to import crops which drastically reduces the food miles for retailers and consumers.
Freddy Bourdais, co-founder of Plastic Mouldings Northern Limited said:
“Through collaborative working with industry partners we’ve successfully supported the delivery of a fully operational and automated facility, taking the practice to a whole new level – this has resulted in the ultimate climate-controlled grow system.”
