LONGXING Greenhouses: Smart Horticulture Solutions for New Zealand
Through a strategic alliance with Poly-Tex—New Zealand’s respected designer and manufacturer of high-performance structures—LONGXING merges world-leading greenhouse technology with proven local expertise. Together we deliver glasshouse projects that are tougher, smarter and more profitable for Kiwi growers.
1. Engineered Advantages – Poly-Tex Quality, LONGXING Innovation
- Weather-proof structure
Frame components extruded by Poly-Tex from marine-grade, UV-stabilised polymers; certified to NZS 3604 and verified for 200 km/h wind zones.
Double-layer ETFE air-cell cladding (Poly-Tex proprietary coating) transmits 92 % light while cutting heating energy by 30 % versus traditional glass.
- Modular smart package
Plug-and-play IoT sensor suite (soil EC, leaf-wetness, CO₂, 9 other metrics) feeds LONGXING’s AI control platform; automatic responses for vents, screens and fogging raise marketable yield by up to 25 %.
Cloud dashboard accessible on any device; API hooks into FarmIQ, Agrimap and other NZ farm-software systems—labour hours reduced by ~50 %.
2. Local Service – Full-Cycle Support Backed by Poly-Tex
- 48-hr design turnaround – Christchurch-based Poly-Tex engineers create 3-D crop-specific models; optional NZPINE timber to meet sustainability briefs.
- Consent made simple – Joint RMA & Building Act compliance pack shortens council approval by an average of 30 %.
- End-of-life value – Poly-Tex take-back programme recycles 95 % of aluminium and polymer components, helping growers secure Toitū carbon-reduction certification.
3. Profit Boosters – Beyond the Glasshouse
- Energy arbitrage bundle – Couple the greenhouse with Tesla Megapack storage sized by Poly-Tex; exploit NZ night-rate power (from 0.08 NZD kWh) for heating/CO₂ generation and save >NZD 20,000 per hectare per year.
- Premium-market access – Preferred supplier route to Poly-Tex’s established retail chain (Countdown, New World, Farro); recorded shelf-price premiums of 35 % for TOV tomatoes and 40 % for snack cucumbers.
Recent Joint Project – 30 ha Canterbury Blueberry Glasshouse
- First harvest 45 days ahead of open-field crops; 12-month supply contract secured with major exporter.
- Biological-control programme (Phytoseiulus persimilis supplied by Poly-Tex Bio-Unit) eliminated 90 % of pesticide applications; BioGro organic licence obtained, lifting export price by 50 %.
