BC Greenhouse Builders Celebrates 70th Anniversary; Market Forecast Looks Promising

BC Greenhouse Builders Limited, North America’s leading builder of hobby and estate greenhouses, is proud to celebrate its 70th anniversary. Increased interest in greenhouses due to worldwide pandemic and food scarcity has positively positioned this family-owned and operated company in North American markets.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Surrey, BC, 27 November 2020 – Based in Surrey, British Columbia, BC Greenhouse Builders is North America’s leading manufacturer of aluminum greenhouses, greenhouse designs and kits, offering a full product line of everything from economical, functional and luxury estate greenhouses to hobby, commercial and custom greenhouses.

Originally founded in 1951, BC Greenhouse Builders fabricated greenhouses in wood frames until the late 1950’s when it was determined that heavy-duty aluminum would increase longevity and overall strength. Henry Heinen, a company employee since 1959, purchased the company in 1972 with his late wife Greta with the hope that the business would remain a family legacy.

“I started working with BC Greenhouse when I was 16 years old. My wife and I both thought that this would be a perfect opportunity for a family to continue on in. And now when I visit, I see my grandchildren working here,” says Henry Heinen, retired owner of BC Greenhouse Builders. “In 2009 I sold the company to my oldest son Rick. They are fulfilling our dream.”

With expertise in design and engineering, Rick Heinen leads the company into new markets with innovation and continued development of one of the strongest greenhouses on the market today with exceptionally high wind and snow loads.

“If a customer calls us and they have certain criteria to meet, we are the company that says yes and we will figure out a way to make it happen whether that is hurricane-force winds or a rooftop conservatory in Dallas,” says Kyle Exner, company General Manager. “We are grateful to say that this past year has resulted in unprecedented growth and interest in our greenhouses.”

With industry forecasts estimating between 6-9% compound annual growth rates, BC Greenhouse Builders is well-positioned in its 7th decade in business. The global pandemic has had a unique impact on the greenhouse industry overall with heightened concerns due to food scarcity.

“Overall, we have heard from our customer base that they wish to have more control over their food sources,” says Angela Drake, company Marketing Director. “The effect of COVID-19 on our business was swift and significant with a younger base connecting with us. In our 70 years, the largest demographic for hobby greenhouses has always been people of early retirement age who find themselves with more free time. 2020 has greatly altered those trends with more than a significant increase in initial interest for greenhouse products, content, and support.”

With a typically longer sales cycle, the company has focused and hired additional employees to handle the influx of interest.

“Our company has grown and we have a lot of long-term employees that we are so fortunate to have too. They feel like family as well,” says Rick Heinen. “We are proud of our product and everyone in our company takes pride in selling our customers a quality greenhouse. We have many customers that pass down their greenhouse to family members. There is something great about our next generation building greenhouses that will be passed along to our customers next-generation someday.”
