Vertiberry

Vertiberry is a Belgian-founded, purpose-driven berry company that produces strawberries and young berry plants year-round using its own totally controlled environment agriculture (TCEA) systems. It serves retail customers, distributors, growers, and propagators in Europe and North America, offering strawberries, young plants, mother plants, and TCEA growing solutions designed to deliver climate-proof, pesticide-free, residue-free, and consistently high-quality production on demand. The company emphasizes vertical integration from genetics to harvest, traceability, and strong partnerships, including with berry breeder Mattivi, to produce strong and healthy plants and to support other growers with expertise and innovative cultivation techniques. Vertiberry says its mission is to improve biodiversity by reducing the need for arable land, increasing nutritional value per square meter, and lowering waste and pesticide use in agriculture. Its team is lean, hands-on, and mission-oriented, with members spanning Belgium and Canada, including Olivier Paulus as Founder & CEO, Skander Ftaiti as Agricultural Manager, Silvia Balletta in Marketing & Sales, and Guillaume Widdershoven as Systems Engineer.
