"The facility will enhance manufacturing efficiency, increase operational capacity, strengthen supply chain responsiveness, and provide an even higher level of service and support to customers and business partners," says Eliezer Adania, CEO of Paskal Americas. © Paskal Group Paskal has been active in Canada since 1998, with a local subsidiary established in 2022.
Over the past decades, the company has established a strong presence in the North American market while consistently expanding its capabilities and services. "The new facility is a milestone in our continued growth and commitment to the North American market," the team shared while showing the new facilities.
Its core product lines include trellising accessories, biodegradable products, and technological solutions for greenhouses, as well as netting accessories and products for vineyards and orchards. Subsidiaries have been established in Mexico, Spain, North America, and the Netherlands to support growers and propagators in these important production regions.
Why this matters: For operators, this is a water-management story. The useful signal is that direct substrate measurements can help cut drain loss materially without giving up yield or fruit quality, which is exactly the kind of controllable efficiency gain a facility can build on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does substrate sensing matter in free-drain strawberry systems?
Because drain percentage tells a grower what already happened, while substrate moisture and EC data show root-zone conditions directly. That makes it easier to cut water loss without guessing.
What is the operator takeaway from this trial?
If the thresholds are understood well enough, growers can reduce drain water materially while protecting yield and fruit quality, which makes sensing an operational tool instead of a reporting tool.
