Greenhouse tech provider Royal Brinkman continues recent reorganisation by naming new head of Horti Essentials
Royal Brinkman, a Netherlands-based supplier of greenhouse technology, crop protection and growing systems, has appointed Marco van der Sar as director of its Horti Essentials division.
According to the group, Van der Sar brings extensive experience in the horticultural sector and has held various commercial and management positions within the industry in recent years.
His appointment follows the introduction of a new divisional structure at Royal Brinkman at the end of 2025.
Bas Brinkman, CEO of Royal Brinkman, commented: “With Marco, we are bringing in extensive experience and strong commercial capability to further develop and strengthen the Horti Essentials division.”
One of the big challenges for today’s growers is increasing pressure to grow more sustainably, efficiently and at greater scale, all the while with fewer and fewer crop protection products at their disposal.
“In this reality, professional growers need certainty: clear operational insight, predictability throughout the season, and solutions that are proven to work in practice,” Brinkman added.
“In response to these market dynamics, we have deliberately reorganised our structure. By working in clearly defined divisions, we bring greater focus and depth to our expertise.”
Van der Sar welcome the opportunity to work with a company that was recognised worldwide as a reliable partner for growers.
“Growers need to be able to rely on the availability and quality of their core products,” he said. “I am delighted to be joining Royal Brinkman and working with the team to further strengthen that foundation.”
