Siberia BV is an innovative enterprise that grows greenhouse vegetables in Maasbree. It was established in early 2016 by Peter van Dijck and Luc Willemssen who also own Van Dijck Groenteproducties, one of the largest suppliers of outdoor grown leafy greens to the retail and processing sectors in The Netherlands.
Going indoors to deliver great lettuce year-round

Customer challenge
When they began building the Siberia BV facilities, Van Dijck and Willemssen were committed to creating an efficient and eco-friendly greenhouse. Siberia BV’s 9 hectare greenhouse would be used to grow lettuce and leafy greens. Challenge was to meet the increasing demand for fresh produce in the winter period.
The right lighting
The co-owners first considered using HPS (high pressure sodium) lighting, but Philips proposed using LED instead. With LEDs, growers can go to higher light levels, which are really needed for growing lettuce and they can produce more in the winter. LEDs also produce less radiant heat, so there are fewer quality issues with tip burn and inconsistent growth.
Philips GreenPower LED toplighting
Philips lighting introduced a LED-based toplighting solution for greenhouse growers, easy to install and no need for water colling systems.
