We believe that profitability in greenhouse and nursery operations
is a direct result of how well the plants perform. This is why we focus on creating precisely the best possible environment for your plants to optimize their efficiency of growth. The result is maximum profitability for you.

We believe in this concept so strongly that we’ve coined the term “Plantcentric” and have gone to the extent of trademarking it. When your TrueLeaf environment system is engineered, we’re applying Plantcentric concepts throughout the process. This is an umbrella concept that ensures you will get the environment TrueLeaf Technologies for complete greenhouse heating systems, boilers, warm floor heating, bench heating, flood floors, heating control systems, unit heaters, heat exchangers, infrared heaters, flood bench, greenhouse irrigation, finned heaters, finned pipe heating, biotherm, microclimate, benchwarmer, roll-n-grow, megatube, hdx tubing, greenpexsystem that is best for growing your plants and your business.

Plantcentric Engineering is a unique approach to problem solving that
delivers maximum value.


We take our work very seriously, but we also believe that it should be fun. So, even though all the “modules” of our Plantcentric Tools are rock-solid engineering design programs, we gave them names that make them more interesting…


Sheila—
Our hot water heating design software is amazing piece of software. With it, our experts can create a computer-simulation of a working greenhouse, and “play” with the many variables in how best to heat it. Put in the dimensions and glazings, and out comes a
complete heating design, parts bill and every thing!

Cherie— This is the program that we design Flood Floors on. Just like Sheila, we can simulate many different scenarios until we get the best
possible design done— specifically for your
application. She also creates complete parts and shopping lists for even the largest of Flood Floor projects!



Maude— TrueLeaf is one of the largest providers of control systems for greenhouses in North America. Our success is, in large part, due to the fact that we make our control systems integrate so well with all the important elements of the greenhouse… many provided by us, and designed on our other modular design programs. Maude is a control freak, but she gets along well with Sheila and Cherie. She provides complete proposals for control systems and, for new construction,
line— voltage electrical distribution systems as well!

Jill— Jill designs our water management systems. She is adept at putting together the best combination of our modular water components. From filtration, to UV sterilization, to irrigation pre-heat, on through our TrueFeed injection modules, Jill knows her way around water systems and provides a comprehensive set of solutions to your water management challenges.

Louie— Louie pitches in for designing and specifying air heating and Co2 dosing jobs where will use the Lennox LF24 units or Ermaf Gro-Power direct-fired heaters. He’s a savvy system that helps create excellent heating environments with a balanced eye toward value and performance. If you need space heating from unit heaters, let us unleash Louie on your needs… he’ll provide a very comprehensive set of options and alternatives that you probably won’t think of on your own.

TrueLeaf Technologies can deliver many other services that are not attached to a system or product sale. These services are aimed at helping you maximize your business potential with the help of our respected staff experts. Our fees are reasonable and we aim to deliver maximum value in every challenge.

Project Planning Assistance:
Developing your project is tough work. Why not do it with our help in your corner? Our staff is well-traveled and highly qualified to help steer the specification of your next expansion or

renovation. Our experienced team members will challenge you while assisting you in creating the best facility for your budget.


Energy Auditing Service:
When the natural gas crisis hit in late 2000, we responded to it by helping many growers track down the worst “fuel guzzlers” in their operations. We were amazed that some growers’ heating systems were less than 50% efficient! Our own Jim Kramer developed unique software tools that give you a comprehensive look at this most important part of your overhead costs.
Just call and request the Energy Audit Service Information




G.E.N.A. (Greenhouse Environment Needs Analysis):

Our comprehensive GENA service provides a way to get a handle on the area of your business that affects plant growth and quality the most— your greenhouse environment. Using an interactive process at your site, we’ll help you determine the best ways to invest to gain
efficiency, whether you are renovating or building new.

Give a call to Al Zylstra to schedule your personal analysis appointment. This is a challenging day-long process, but can yield huge benefits that will show up on your bottom line for years. The result is a clear report detailing our recommendations in the areas of heating, cooling, irrigation, fertigation, and climate control. This report will give you a “road map” for improving your facilities... 75 questions, many leading to productive discussion...
