Country of Origin: South Korea
Reference Number: TOKR20181011001
Publication Date: 11 October 2018

Summary

A Korean company, specializing in the manufacture and construction of wide span truss-framed greenhouses, seeks to establish relations with foreign partners that have relevant expertise, under a commercial agreement with technical assistance or a joint venture/license/manufacturing/technical cooperation agreement. They plan to provide technological support for the partner to engage in the direct domestic manufacturing of the product and offer construction their technology.

Description

With over 30 years of experience and progressive technological development, the company specializes in the manufacturing and construction of wide span truss-framed greenhouses with maximized inner space. It offers greenhouses that provide the sufficient amount of sunshine and effectively minimize the damage from cold weather and high temperatures, thus allowing a year-round crop growing. 

The truss-framed greenhouse can be extended up to 26m in width, more than 100m in length and 11m in height. For constructions less than 18m wide, a pillarless structure can be used, which enlarges the working environment. The product provides an environment best optimized for growing crops due to its convective effect achieved through opening and closing of the side and roof windows when necessary. 4-layer curtains with thermostatic and sunblock effects help control the inside temperature, reduce damage from cold and regulate the amount of sunshine. The product is designed with a structure that can resist the wind more than 40m/s strong, snow cover more than 30~40cm deep.

In addition, the company offers a drip irrigation technology that has been awarded several international patents. This system utilises pressure compensation drip hoses and pressure regulation equipment to ensure equal water supply throughout the system without installation of filters. Regardless of water contamination degree, the system does not get clogged easily and allows semi-permanent operation. This system can be installed underground.

Due to high durability even in severe climate conditions, the product can be applied for various purposes by different types of farms and/or institutions as follows: 1)Farms that desire to achieve high production volume and quality of crops through systemized management; 2) Agro-research institutions in need of laboratory and demonstration facilities; 3)Arboretums, thematic parks, 4)Exhibition halls, 5)Tourism facilities, 6)Sports facilities, 7)Housing complex facilities, etc. Based on its domestic sales performance, the company has also been exporting products to Indonesia, Russia, China and Kazakhstan since 2009.

With their key competencies and skills above, the company is looking forward to establishing relations with foreign partners that possess substantial expertise in the greenhouse and agricultural materials, as well as necessary financial resources. They plan to provide technological support for the partner to engage in the direct domestic manufacturing of the product and offer construction technology.

Considered agreement types are as follows: commercial agreement with technical assistance, joint venture agreement, license agreement, manufacturing agreement and technical cooperation agreement. The company is not interested in a mere distribution agreement, they are seeking to transfer the technology abroad and facilitate local manufacturing, providing their knowledge as well as production and construction technologies.

-License agreement: The company would like to receive profit from the transfer of their knowledge/know-how, thus enabling local manufacturing of their product without compromising the IP rights of each party.
-Manufacturing agreement: The company would like to cooperate by providing their know-how and technological support necessary for the manufacturing of its products to the foreign partner interested in local manufacturing of the abovementioned products.
-Technical cooperation agreement: The company can offer technical assistance to the partner willing to develop new products based on the company’s current products.
-Commercial agreement with technical assistance: The company is able to provide technical assistance during the greenhouse construction process and consult the partner should technology-related matters/questions arise.
-Joint venture agreement: The company is open to the establishment of a joint venture, in cases when this enables production efficiency and cost reduction.

Advantages and Innovations

-A distinct feature of the wide span truss-framed greenhouses is a zinc-galvanized oval pipe framework structure that can resist corrosion and external shocks thus increasing durability. 

-Apart from most existing greenhouses, that are generally about 7 meters wide, the width of the company’s greenhouses can reach 28 meters.

-They also have automatic openers for ventilation and a heat-retaining system. In addition, they possess a better cover than most greenhouses, e.g., a p.o. film that can last to 7 years and a fluorine film that can be used for more than 15 years.

- The company’s greenhouses have higher durability compared to most existing greenhouses, so they can be used all around the globe, even in severe climate conditions.

-The greenhouses also have a wide range of applications, i.e. they can be used by different types of farms and/or institutions as follows: 1)Farms that desire to achieve high production volume and quality of crops through systemized management; 2)Agro-research institutions in need of laboratory and demonstration facilities; 3)Arboretums, thematic parks, 4)Exhibition halls, 5)Tourism facilities, 6)Sports facilities, 7)Housing complex facilities, etc.
