GREENCON
About Us
Greencon was incorporated as a limited liability company according to the laws of Zimbabwe in 1991 by Julian Vant. It was formed to meet the new and fast growing demand for greenhouses generally used for producing roses for the export flower industry.
The first galvanised steel greenhouse erected in Zimbabwe was done by Greencon in 1992. With time several components of the greenhouse were patented, and innovative methods of plastic attachment were introduced. Soon exports into regional countries were started and by 1995 Greencon was manufacturing and erecting about 2 hectares of greenhouse per month, employing over 65 full time staff mainly in manufacturing and installing greenhouses, but with an admin and sales staff of 7 including 2 engineers. Greencon exported over 35 hectares of Zimbabwean manufactured greenhouses into the region.
In 1996 a total of over 120 hectares of greenhouses were sold, installed and commissioned by Greencon throughout Southern Africa – countries where projects were completed include RSA, Lesotho. Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Ghana, DRC, Malawi, Mozambique, Mauritius, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Greencon partnered AZUD of Spain for world-class standard irrigation supplies and DASA of Spain providing specialty fertilisers. All of these products are sold through Greencon in Zimbabwe, Zambia and the region. There are strategic and synergistic alliances with other input providers but generally the concept of sourcing approved and tested product direct from manufacturer to end user is adhered to.
Greencon has also partnered with Rydawi for their Aquaponic Production Units, the system constitutes of an above ground fish tank for fish farming equipped with bio-filtration rings, a pump and oxygen stones. The individual modules make it ideal for everything from a backyard urban project through to large commercial farming production. Our dam liners over the years have been a favourite amongst mining companies due to the strength and quality of the liners.
Greencon is now located in Greendale, at number 8 Coronation Ave in Harare, Zimbabwe. As a result we are now able to provide a service to walk in clients and to better service small scale rural and urban growers where our focus is now targeted. We also supply inputs for the tobacco growers as well.
