Manitowoc, WI- Construction has started on Dramm's new research greenhouse. The addition to the new factory and headquarters will allow for easier development and testing of new products and techniques.

The new, 2,500 square foot facility will feature a number of different cropping systems, from fixed and movable benches to different hydroponic systems. A variety of water source options, from rainwater and pond water to recycled and municipal water will be availble. Mulitple water treatment systems will be installed for both regular use and to be able to test different methods and tools for best efficacy with different sources and water qualities.

The DeCloet Venlo-style greenhouse has a 22' gutter height, with a 42' wide-span bay, eliminating posts in the middle of the structure. Biotherm in-floor hydronic heating will keep the greenhouse warm during our cold winters. A Wadsworth Seed controller will manage the climate and allow remote access any time of day.

Completion of the facility is scheduled for early-Fall for 2023, allowing for the first crops and research work to begin this winter.



Since 1941, Dramm has been a leader in greenhouse and gardening products. Focusing on watering, irrigation, chemical application, air movement, water treatment, organic fertilzers and consumer gardening products, Dramm develops innovative products for professionals and home gardeners.
