We’ve used the Bato Uni Trough for four years and I’m delighted to say that strong root growth is evident throughout the year. The extra depth and open design of the trough means there is always a sufficient supply of oxygen.

We are taking a step back. With Bato as the new owner, we are confident that our company is in good hands and has a bright future.  

‘Besides processing all our wishes, Bato gave active consideration to the entire process. They have a lot of in-house horticultural knowledge. So the R&D department came up with the idea of placing handles on both sides of the substrate trays. We can easily install or move intermediate trays. Solving the drainage problem was also a very valuable development. Now look back happily at this very good collaboration’.

Bato has extensive knowledge of the sector. We are extremely satisfied with the delivery reliability, product quality and the price/quality ratio

We know what we can expect from each other, which gives us confidence and consistently high quality.

'The result is a lightweight plastic handle that fully meets our requirements, as well as those of the end user. The handles are an important component of our scaffolding floors, which is why we will maintain a close link with Bato in the future, to improve and refine the existing product from time to time. We are, for example, currently looking at how to reduce cost. Thanks to their open corporate culture, pleasant contacts and short lines, I attach great importance to my relationship with Bato.'

“Our partnership with Bato is smooth and flexible. Bato takes an active role and no effort is too much for them. This was especially apparent during the final stage of development, when the process behind the product and getting it produced quickly and efficiently was a valuable and decisive aspect".

We wanted to grow raspberries at a height to minimise the risk of soil-borne diseases. We passed our challenge to Bato and at the same time raised the issue of logistics.

Our collaboration with Bato is super. I like a direct approach. I always get a quick response and can rely on fast delivery. That amount of trust is priceless!

It is valuable to discuss which solution is right for a specific situation or a particular trial with the team at Bato. They always think along in terms of concept and cultivation.

Our partnership with Bato gives us the benefit of being able to innovate at a fast pace together. While many producers in the sector are rigid and reluctant to change, Bato is flexible, enterprising, and resourceful.

The engineers at Bato devote a lot of time and energy to look at every idea seriously and they take on a proactive role. That inspires confidence and makes me a very satisfied customer.
