Profarms is a company specialising in the cultivation of microgreens with an innovative and sustainable approach. Its indoor cultivation system makes it possible to produce high-quality microgreens all year round, regardless of the weather conditions, thereby reducing water consumption and eliminating the use of pesticides. The adoption of biodegradable substrates and the optimisation of natural resources guarantee an efficient and environmentally friendly production.

"One of the aspects that makes Profarms stand out," explain managers Ulrich Kager and Patrick Sanin, "is the integration of our in-house software and hardware, which guarantee a highly automated and efficient cultivation system. The Profarms software is designed to monitor and optimise environmental parameters in real time and to manage the entire microgreens production process."

The hardware includes growth racks with C-LED lighting, automatic irrigation systems, environmental sensors, sprouting cells, and other machinery designed to efficiently manage the production of high-quality microgreens. This system is designed to be scalable and easily integrated into facilities of various sizes, and it optimises growing conditions while improving operational efficiency.
"Our microgreens offer concrete advantages for the fruit and vegetable and catering markets: local production to ensure freshness and reduce the environmental impact of transport; environmentally-friendly packaging made of recyclable cardboard to reduce waste; organic farming; natural and biodegradable substrates; deep flavour and consistent quality, making them ideal for the culinary sector."

"Profarms is not just a supplier of microgreens, it is a strategic partner for growers. We offer advice on varieties, cultivation techniques and process optimisation, plus we develop packaging and select the best substrates and seeds for our partners."
A concrete example of the effectiveness of the Profarms system is 'Profarms Engelberg', founded in 2024 by Hannes and Martina Preitfellner. After years of experience in herb production, they adopted the Profarms indoor cultivation model and became key suppliers for restaurateurs and traders in Austria. Their success demonstrates the potential of modern, technologically advanced agriculture.

"For our team, it is a source of pride to collaborate with Profarms, a company made up of a young and enterprising team and which is constantly growing with an eye to innovation, technology and sustainability. Profarms is becoming a point of reference with their brand and know-how, also for new young 'profarmers' who want to start this path of producing microgreens independently with their own turnkey system," explain Raffaello Montanari, C-LED sales manager, and Cristian D'Elia, technical contact person.
"Finally, we would like to inform you that, this year, we will once again attend the Greentech trade fair in Amsterdam, which will take place from 10 to 12 June. We will showcase all the products we offer, and guests will be able to talk to our industry experts at stand 05.200," concludes Montanari.
