DS Hortitrade was founded in 2010 as a sister company of Debets Schalke, which since 1985 has grown into one of the largest greenhouse builders in the Netherlands. Although today Debets Schalke focuses almost exclusively on selling turn-key greenhouse projects, it still offers reclaimed greenhouses and accessories through DS Hortitrade.

Growers will find greenhouses at DS Hortitrade up to several hectares in size that are delivered as a kit, whether or not accompanied by a team that supervises the construction. DS Hortitrade is also specialised in used horticultural machinery and accessories, and can therefore provide a full range of reclaimed equipment for horticulturalists.

It is also possible to buy the parts of the greenhouses at DS Hortitrade. Any second-hand parts can still serve as replacement parts for existing greenhouses, or be sold to other companies for the construction of all kinds of shelters.
