Opti-flor and ParXtra Trading join forces

Opti-flor will be cooperating with ParXtra Trading intensively. In concrete terms, this means that the Phalaenopsis company in Monster will be conducting extensive tests with the ParXtra® Booster: an innovative device that amplifies the vibration of light and thereby stimulates plant growth. In addition, Opti-flor will help to realise the manufacture of the first large volume of ParXtra® Boosters, and Marco and René Hendriks will join ParXtra Trading’s steering group.

Marco and René Hendriks of Opti-flor and Lennard van Vliet and Mark van den Ende of ParXtra Trading signed the cooperation agreement on Friday, 24 August. The first practical effect is that Opti-flor will be testing the ParXtra® Booster intensively as of this autumn. The tests at Opti-flor should provide insight into the exact added value of the ParXtra® Booster in the cultivation of Phalaenopsis.

Support
Opti-flor will also support ParXtra Trading in realising the manufacture of the first large volume of ParXtra® Boosters. The devices, set to be delivered this autumn, will be used at Opti-flor and a number of other horticultural companies.

ParXtra® Steering Group
In addition, a delegation from Opti-flor will join the so-called ParXtra® Steering Group. This steering group comprises a select group of horticultural entrepreneurs who provide ParXtra Trading with practical input for the development of new products that provide a solution for controlling or stimulating plant growth. These products will be tested first at the companies that are part of the steering group.
