Kreling Chrysanten Top Winner of the 2025 Horticulture Entrepreneur Award
CE-Line’s Innovative, Real-Time Water Analysis Wins Theme Award
March 12, 2025 – Kreling Chrysanten has been named the overall winner of the 2025 Horticulture Entrepreneur Award. Brothers Koen (30) and Arné (25) Kreling, their brother-in-law Henry Satter (31), uncle Gijbert, and father Jan from Bruchem in Gelderland have earned the title of the Netherlands’ top horticultural entrepreneurs this year.
The Theme Award for "Future-Proof Technologies" was awarded to CE-Line from Emmeloord. Simon Meijer’s company enables growers to perform real-time laboratory analyses of nutrient levels in irrigation and drainage water. This is a major innovation for the horticulture sector and has the potential for significant impact beyond it as well.
The Kreling family and Simon Meijer received their awards on March 12, 2025, from Guido Landheer, Director-General of Agro at the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, and Jelle Beemsterboer, Chairman of Greenport Noord-Holland Noord. The awards ceremony took place at the Greenport Noord-Holland Noord horticulture cluster, within the Vertify agricultural research center.
