Terrazza MC and Beaulieu Technical Textiles have joined forces to enhance the maintenance of ground cloth used by tree and plant growers. This collaboration encompasses marketing initiatives, product development endeavors, and the sharing of their respective networks. The partnership will be officially introduced at GrootGroenPlus, a renowned horticultural exhibition in the Netherlands.
Terrazza MC specializes in the production and distribution of cleaning machines designed for the professional market. Their Terrazza Geotex PRO offers an innovative solution for cleaning ground cloth, requiring nothing more than cold water and patented brush technology. In a significant sustainability leap, these machines have been equipped with electric motors, enabling not only chemical-free but also carbon-neutral cleaning of ground cloth.
Beaulieu, on the other hand, is a prominent Belgian manufacturer of agro-textiles. Their latest offering, Recover, is a woven ground cloth composed of 30 percent recycled material. This environmentally conscious product reduces CO2 emissions during production by an impressive 35 percent. Additionally, Recover boasts UV resistance and a minimum lifespan of 10 years.
While Beaulieu’s extensive size and global sales network are well-established, Terrazza MC, though relatively smaller, has been gaining recognition in approximately 20 countries. Dany Mestdag, Managing Director of Terrazza MC, emphasizes their shared commitment to chemical-free cleaning and sustainable production. The collaboration enables both companies to contribute significantly to these objectives while complementing each other’s strengths. They are also actively collaborating on product development, focusing on minimizing wear and tear on the fabric through advanced cleaning methods.
Tree Nursery Willy De Nolf NV from Waregem serves as a testament to the effectiveness of the new ground cloth. The nursery recently adopted this innovative solution and is highly satisfied with its performance. Notably, the nursery has been a long-standing user of Terrazza’s Geotex PRO machines, emphasizing the vital importance of maintaining a clean ground cover.
The partnership between Terrazza MC and Beaulieu Technical Textiles marks a pivotal step towards achieving sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly ground cloth maintenance solutions for horticultural professionals.
