Viscon Plant Technology transfers the spacing fork product portfolio to Flier Systems
Barendrecht, December 8, 2025.
Viscon Plant Technology will transfer its spacing fork product portfolio (including all types of spacing forks and fixed forks) to Flier Systems as of 1 January 2026. This acquisition covers both the sale of new systems and the maintenance and aftercare of existing installations.
Spacing forks are a proven solution within the sector. By transferring this portfolio to Flier Systems, the technology will remain available to both existing and new customers, with continued quality and support. Flier Systems will take over further development, sales and technical service, while Viscon Plant Technology focuses on its core activities.
“The transfer of the spacing forks is a deliberate strategic step to strengthen our focus on automation solutions for young plant producers and breeders. By concentrating our portfolio on technologies such as tissue culture automation, phenotypic sorting and somatic embryogenesis automation, we create room for further innovation and growth. We are pleased to have found in Flier Systems a reliable partner that will continue this product portfolio with the same dedication.”
- Niels Vogelaar, Viscon Plant Technology
“The acquisition of the spacing forks fits perfectly within our strategy to automate the entire production process for professional plant growers. With the recent introduction of our renewed SPH transplanter/sorter, we have already taken an important step in the automation of potted plants. The acquisition of the spacing forks is a logical addition to this, as it enables us to offer a complete and integrated package. We are pleased to build on the strong foundation laid by Viscon.”
- Ad Kranendonk, Flier Systems
This transfer creates a future proof solution for the market. Both companies share a vision of innovation, quality and customer focus and are jointly committed to ensuring a smooth transition.
