DryGair marks 15 years of smarter climate control for greenhouses

USA – DryGair, a leader in greenhouse dehumidification, is celebrating 15 years of supporting growers with energy-saving solutions that improve crop health and farm efficiency.

The company will mark this milestone at Cultivate 2025 in Columbus, Ohio, where it will present its newest climate control systems designed for greenhouses of all sizes and in all regions.

Founded in 2010, DryGair began with a clear mission: to solve the rising humidity problem affecting commercial greenhouses at a time when energy costs were making operations more expensive.

The company introduced a system for active dehumidification built specifically for agriculture, rather than repurposing existing technologies.

Over the years, DryGair’s systems have helped growers across North America, Europe, and Asia protect their crops while keeping power use in check. CEO Tal Netzer reflected on the journey so far.

“With proven results across all growth stages and crop types – from propagation to flowering – our systems are designed to deliver maximum water extraction with minimal energy use. The solution is easy to install and seamlessly integrates into both existing and new greenhouse structures,” said Netzer.

He added, “This milestone isn’t just about our journey. It’s about the growers who believed in our solution and achieved real, measurable success. We’re proud to stand beside them and excited to continue supporting the next generation of growers.”

DryGair will use the upcoming Cultivate 2025 event to meet with growers and greenhouse managers. Attendees will get a chance to explore the latest updates to the company’s products, attend live demonstrations, and speak directly with the team about how proper humidity control affects yield, product quality, and business margins.

According to the 2025 Energy Statistics Pocketbook by the United Nations Statistics Division, greenhouse operations are among the highest consumers of energy within controlled environment agriculture.

Heating alone can take up more than half of total energy use in cold regions. Artificial lighting also accounts for a large share, especially in indoor vertical farms. This has increased the demand for climate systems that manage energy use more carefully.

DryGair’s solutions aim to ease this pressure. Some of its models reduce power use by up to 50 percent compared to traditional methods. This kind of impact is becoming more urgent, as the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that electricity use in agriculture rose nearly 4 percent in 2024. Much of this increase comes from climate control tools like those DryGair provides.

As growers look to reduce waste, protect harvests, and cut overhead costs, DryGair’s role in supporting more efficient and productive farming remains strong.

The company sees the next phase of its growth tied closely to industry efforts to run greener, smarter farms without sacrificing output.
