The grower placed his plants in
DryGair’s experimental greenhouses,
sprayed them with water and left them
overnight. The next day, he came back
to find the plants dry and with healthy
leaves. “He immediately wanted to buy
the first unit, although it was still at a
prototype stage,” Peretz says.
Since then, DryGair has developed
several dehumidifiers to tackle the
needs of diverse greenhouse designs,
crops, growing methods, and climate
conditions around the world. Of course,
the company tested these products in
real-life trials in different countries with
various crops to make sure they would
deliver exactly what its end-clients
wanted. “Our end-customers are the
plants, and their needs are our top
priority,” explains Peretz, who adds that
healthy plants lead to happy growers.
And so far, DryGair has helped
create many a happy plant and
grower. One gardener contacted
DryGair to tell the company
“he saved 15 per cent of his
crop” after using one of its
units. Also, the company
says growers on average
reduced their energy
usage by 50 per cent.
Today, the company
sells its units in Israel,
Holland, Germany, UK,
Norway, Denmark, the
US, and Vietnam, with
plans to expand. And
there’s no doubt the
company can reach
its goal. It’s already
capitalized on its
strengths of innovation
and efficiency,
sustainability,
flexibility, and team
work to expand
from a three-person
company in Israel to an
international exporter
that employs 10 people.
“Our employees
believe in our solution
and therefore they are
dedicated,” says Peretz.
“We have professional
conferences to deepen our
agriculture understanding and
we try to widen our horizons by
introducing interesting issues during
our weekly team meetings, during
mutual breakfasts.”
“
If you have a good solution that
you and your team believe in, you can
educate the market and make it happen.”
