Born in 1994, Ageon Srl of Borgo San Dalmazzo (CN) is a company specializing in the supply of products and services for hydroponic greenhouse cultivation.

Ageon was founded by Pierfranco Silvestro, who brought together a team of professionals with experience in the world of substrate cultivation to create a company capable of constantly adapting to the needs of an ever-evolving market.

Ageon embodies over 25 years of experience in research, innovation, and respect for environmental standards.

A growth path that began on May 16, 1994.

The company is made up of two distinct and complementary divisions:

The Ageon commercial division is responsible for the selection and distribution of the best products and services for modern greenhouse cultivation following careful international research;

The AgeonTech division provides highly qualified agronomic consultancy. It also offers analysis and support services to greenhouse growers from the design phase to the entire production cycle, helping them to achieve maximum quality and quantity yields.

Today, hydroponic cultivation has become a key element of cultivation in a protected environment.

We can proudly state that Ageon has made a significant contribution to the growth of this sector, having been a pioneer of hydroponic cultivation in a protected environment at the time of its foundation

Mission

Offer products and services (solutions) for soilless cultivation aimed at optimizing yields and quality by investing the least possible input of raw materials and energy.

Vision

The ideal partner for Hydroponics and Soil. Skills, experience and innovation. Always one step ahead.

Sustainability and corporate social responsibility

Sustainability and corporate social responsibility
By dealing with soilless cultivation, there are many advantages attributable to this production system:

  • better control of phytosanitary conditions
  • higher production yields, thanks to better control of climate, irrigation and nutrition management
  • greater continuity of product supply
  • better intrinsic and extrinsic quality of the product
  • reduction of management costs, especially in relation to manpower requirements
  • greater production guarantee
  • water and energy saving, therefore lower environmental impact.

If we consider the growing need for automation and the need to reduce pollution, the adoption of these techniques appears as a logical evolution of protected crops. In particular, the legislative measures aimed at penalizing “polluting” production activities make the transition to more environmentally friendly crops urgent.

Our greatest value is the people who contribute every day to making Ageon a unique reality. Continuous training is therefore a fundamental aspect for the search for innovation in all processes, as well as the protection of quality of life in the work environment.

Gender equality is a fundamental value for AGEON, as enshrined by the European Union in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. To this end, AGEON has established a Gender Equality Plan starting from 2022 which is the formalization of the strategic actions to achieve gender equality.
