New OEM -Agreement For Shelf-And-Lighting Panels For Industrial Vertical Farming
Danish-based companies Senmatic and LED iBond International have entered a strategic OEM-partnership for delivery of shelves with built-in grow light to advance the industrial vertical farming industry – a production method globally foreseen to gain currency among producers in the future.
Senmatic and LED iBond International have entered a strategic partnership for OEM delivery of shelves with built-in grow light to be included in Senmatic’s offering of industrial vertical farming solutions. In vertical farming you utilize the cubic meters by planting in layers rather than the square meters, as traditionally done with row upon row of plants and crops.
The new vertical farming shelves are based on LED iBond’s patented lighting fixture, which combines superior cooling characteristics and minimal space requirements with a high carrying capacity.

- We have more than 40 years of experience with indoor plant production. We will combine LED iBond’s super-slim and energy-efficient shelf-and-lighting panels with our controllers and software to create a multifunctional vertical farming solution with best-in-class growth conditions for industrial indoor horticulture. This new partnership with LED iBond will further contribute to our growth in the vertical farming market, so we are very pleased indeed for this opportunity to join forces with LED iBond, says Mads Nychel, CEO at Senmatic.
The joint vertical farming offering is planned to launch at the end of Q4 2020.
