Update as of 8.22.25
Construction at our Kimberly site is progressing smoothly and on schedule. We’re excited to share the latest developments:
- Production High-Humidity (HH) and Greenhouse (GH) Buildings
These structures are now fully trussed and have taken shape in 3D. All concrete slabs have been successfully poured, and Elite Steel is currently installing insulated metal panels (IMPs). - Vernalization Buildings
Trenching work is actively underway, preparing the site for further development. - Disease HH and GH Buildings
Underground electrical and plumbing work is the current focus. All foundations and foundation walls have been poured, marking another key milestone.
We’re thrilled with the progress and will continue to provide updates as we move forward. Thank you to all KWS teams and our construction partner Ceres Greenhouse Solutions for your dedication and hard work!
