Greencon

Greencon was incorporated as a limited liability company according to the laws of Zimbabwe in 1991 by Julian Vant. It was formed to meet the new and fast growing demand for greenhouses generally used for producing roses for the export flower industry.

The first galvanised steel greenhouse erected in Zimbabwe was done by Greencon in 1992. With time several components of the greenhouse were patented, and innovative methods of plastic attachment were introduced. Soon exports into regional countries were started and by 1995 Greencon was manufacturing and erecting about 2 hectares of greenhouse per month, employing over 65 full time staff mainly in manufacturing and installing greenhouses, but with an admin and sales staff of 7 including 2 engineers. Greencon exported over 35 hectares of Zimbabwean manufactured greenhouses into the region.
