A TECH company has unveiled a product that could increase productivity in the farming industry.
LettUs Grow has revealed the Aeroponic Rolling Bench at an exclusive event at the Heath Farm Aeroponic Innovation Centre in Bristol last week.
The company says the product will help large-scale indoor growers outperform annual yield targets.
Until now, the technology was only available in vertical farming systems, but it can now be used by greenhouse growers.
The unveiling event, attended by industry partners, customers, and commercial growers, highlighted the company's determination to scale aeroponics within the global greenhouse industry.
The Aeroponic Rolling Benches integrate LettUs Grow’s ultrasonic aeroponic irrigation with industry-standard rolling bench systems.
They are designed to assist large-scale indoor growers in boosting productivity and achieving higher-than-expected annual yields.
The technology has previously been exclusive to vertical farming systems.
Charlie Guy, the chief executive officer at LettUs Grow, said: "This day marks an important milestone in our company’s development in the greenhouse sector.
"Before we open the site to larger audiences officially next year, we wanted to bring our existing partners and customers together to celebrate the vital collaborations that are now enabling us to scale our technology globally.
"We’ve always known that collaboration is absolutely vital in the agritech industry, and we are both proud and grateful that so many of our partners who made this product possible could join us for this celebration."

The unveiling event was attended by key manufacturers involved in the production of Aeroponic Rolling Benches, including Bosman Van Zaal, Meteor Systems, and Staal & Plast.
Bas Dirven, research and development manager at Meteor Systems, said: "This is our first visit to Heath Farm, and it’s inspiring to see our collaboration come to life and connect with others involved in this journey.
"We’ve been working with LettUs Grow to develop custom aeroponic plug trays tailored to their system, and we’re excited to see the impact our efforts will have on the cultivation process and for growers using the technology."
Feedback from attendees was reportedly positive, and the company will be releasing information on future events and tours throughout 2025 exclusively to their newsletter subscribers and on the LettUs Grow website.
