The horticultural sector is gearing up for HortiContact 2025 (February 18-20 in Gorinchem), an event that is more than just a trade show – it is where the heart of the sector comes together. Like a family reunion, it is the perfect place to reconnect with key customers, partners and colleagues.
For many years, Ushio has proudly displayed its acclaimed HORTURION® portfolio of single-ended and double-ended HPS lamps and matching power supplies. To those who might call this “old technology,” Ushio gives a clear answer, “Our HORTURION® lamps and power supplies have proven themselves through technology and innovation in recent years. Meanwhile, we have established an excellent track record with our lamps and power supplies. We look back on 2024 as one of the most successful years in our horticultural sales.”
With its bold “Last Man Standing” campaign, Ushio underscores its unwavering commitment to HPS lighting. While others have shifted their focus, Ushio remains steadfast, backed by trusted OEM partners who rely on HORTURION® lamps for their exceptional performance.
“There is still a bright future for HPS lighting in the coming years, “ says René Polak, Sales Director Horticulture at Ushio. ”In colder seasons, HPS lamps do double duty: they provide essential warmth to plants while reducing heating costs in greenhouses. Hybrid solutions combining HPS and LED are now leading the way for growers looking for efficiency and reliability.”
European quality that shines
For more than 15 years, Ushio has been a beacon of innovation in greenhouse lighting, producing high-quality, long-lasting HPS lamps. Since 2017, production has been centralized at Ushio’s plant in Poland. With an annual capacity of 1,000,000 lamps and global distribution managed from Germany, Ushio is fully equipped to meet the needs of growers worldwide.
“We are not just the last man standing,” René adds with a smile, ”we are the last brand still in the spotlight in this area. Ushio’s commitment to quality and strong partnerships ensure that growers have a reliable ally at their side.”
