Elite Tunnels, UK Protected Cropping Solutions for Growers

Elite Tunnels, UK Protected Cropping Solutions for Growers
Protected cropping solutions have gradually become more prevalent in the horticultural industry as growers search for increased yields, while navigating changing climatic conditions.

Implementation of protected cropping solutions with the latest design of Poly, Enviro & high-sided Tunnels and Tabletop and trellis systems has facilitated longer harvesting seasons, reduced disease pressure and chemical inputs, and better consistency and supply chain management. These benefits have enabled growers to mitigate crop loss and forecast with greater ease as they become non-reliant on weather working conditions.

Elite Tunnels is a UK based manufacturer and specialist of polytunnels and associated products who were recently acquired by the Australian owned Tapex Group adding to their existing portfolio of horticulture companies, including the New Zealand based operation Empak with facilities in Christchurch and Hamilton. The Elite tunnel design has continually increased their market presence in Australia for the last decade and is now extending its reach in New Zealand having already supplied four major projects in the market via Empak.

Elite Tunnels advantages:

 

  1. European’s highest quality sourced materials.
  2. Unparalleled service support and response to customer needs.
  3. Highly experienced team with over 15 years in manufacturing/supply across the world
  4. Bespoke table-top and trellis designed systems

 

Elite Tunnels Global Sales Manager Mr Ross Watt has been serving and providing solutions in protective cropping to the grower in Australasia for over 10 years.
