Commercial vegetable growers are using Rimol Greenhouses to grow crops in an optimized environment, year-round, for their controlled environment agriculture (CEA) operations. Rimol designs and manufactures commercial greenhouse structures for growers producing vegetables and leafy greens at any scale - from single-structure operations to large, gutter-connected ranges.
CEA is the practice of growing plants indoors in a highly controlled environment, such as a greenhouse, using advanced plant science techniques and digital environmental control systems. According to the USDA, controlled environment agriculture production and operations are on the rise, with the number of operations more than doubling from 2009 to 2019. As growers across the U.S. continue to battle climate challenges, CEA and indoor agriculture offers a better way to increase crop production and yield while maximizing the use of space.
At Rimol Greenhouse Systems, we can provide customizable greenhouse solutions for commercial CEA growers of all sizes that are looking to achieve ideal environmental control in their indoor growing operations. We have experience working with growers in hydroponics and aquaponics, mushroom growers, cannabis growers, researchers, and other growers who need precise management and high-tech solutions.
Our Matterhorn Greenhouse is our strongest structure, designed to withstand heavy snow and wind loads of any climate in North America. We also offer a variety of freestanding greenhouse structures, such as our Nor'Easter Greenhouse, that can be covered in poly or polycarbonate and outfitted with many different accessories and technologies to fit your growing needs.

For hydroponic producers, a greenhouse can provide the perfect controlled environment for year-round growing. Grow leafy greens and herbs for grocery stores, food banks, CSAs and more. We partner with the experts at CropKing to provide a full hydropnic system for your greenhouse.
Aquaponics is a sustainable food production method that uses hydroponics in combination with fish farming in a connected system. For CEA growers that are interested in aquaponics, a greenhouse can provide the perfect environment to keep plants and fish healthy year-round.
Colleges and universities are establishing and growing CEA programs to develop the next generation of commercial vegetable production. Rimol has experience designing greenhouses for higher education CEA programs.
The experts at Rimol can work with CEA producers to design an environmental control system for your greenhouse range. Automate irrigation, light, temperature control, ventilation and more with a state-of-the-art, high-tech environmental controller.
An environmental controller can help growers maximize efficiency, conserve energy and optimize plant growth. We cover everything that commercial vegetable growers and CEA producers need to know about greenhouse controllers.
CEA, or Controlled Environment Agriculture, is the practice of growing plants indoors in a highly controlled environment, such as a greenhouse, using advanced plant science techniques and digital environmental control systems. While all greenhouse growing can technically be classified as CEA, it typically refers to a highly controlled indoor agriculture environment, versus the more passively controlled high tunnel growing environment used by field agriculture.
Hydroponics is growing a plant without soil, usually in an inert substance such as rockwool or perlite to hold the roots for water and nutrient absorption.
The Matterhorn is an ideal choice for large-scale commercial vegetable production operations. This is our traditional, gutter-connect style greenhouse that can be built as a single-bay or multi-bay structure. It is customizable with state-of-the-art systems and technologies for the ultimate vegetable production operation.
Our freestanding greenhouses - the Nor'Easter, Northpoint and Eastpoint - are also a good fit for smaller growing operations. For CEA producers that are growing for a local market, providing fresh food for a food bank operation, or growing a specialty crop like mushrooms, a freestanding greenhouse offers many options for customization and future expansion.
