Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2025) - CubicFarm® Systems Corp. (TSXV: CUB) ("CubicFarms" or the "Company"), a leading agricultural technology company, is pleased to announce a major repeat order from Agrotopia Ireland. This follows the initial sale of one GLS 808 HydroGreen machine previously announced on January 3, 2024. After the successful completion of a 90-day feed trial, Agrotopia has placed a purchase order for seven additional GLS 808 machines, further expanding its adoption of HydroGreen's sustainable feed solutions.
Agrotopia conducted multiple feed presentations after concluding a trial at its facility at Finnegan's Farm in County Meath, Ireland. This expansion highlights the increasing demand for HydroGreen's automated fresh feed technology, which is transforming beef and dairy farming across Ireland, the UK, and the Middle East.
HydroGreen's GLS 808 system empowers farmers to produce fresh, nutrient-rich feed daily, reducing reliance on imported feed, lowering costs, and improving sustainability. Agrotopia's recent trial in Ireland demonstrated outstanding results, including faster weight gains, improved carcass grades, and reduced feeding costs—leading to greater profitability for farmers.
"This technology is a game-changer for farmers navigating soaring feed costs, climate challenges, and evolving sustainability regulations," said Fiore Macari, Managing Director of Agrotopia Ireland. "Following the remarkable success of our trial and media presentations, we've received significant interest from farming operators across Ireland, the UK, Europe, and the Middle East. It's clear that HydroGreen's GLS 808 system is the future of sustainable feed production. With strong demand from farmers in key regions, we anticipate a growing pipeline of additional orders by Q4 2025, with even greater expansion in 2026 and beyond."
The latest purchase order reinforces the exclusive partnership between HydroGreen and Agrotopia Ireland, ensuring farmers across key European markets have access to a scalable and sustainable alternative to traditional feed sources.
"A repeat order is the strongest validation of the impact our technology is having," said Michael Kyne, CFO of HydroGreen. "Agrotopia's success demonstrates the value of our HydroGreen systems in real-world conditions, delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, animal health, and farm profitability. As demand for sustainable feed solutions continues to grow, we look forward to scaling our partnership and expanding our presence across Europe."
Since its launch at Finnegan's Farm in County Meath, Ireland, in July 2024, Agrotopia has experienced overwhelming interest from farmers across multiple regions. Following its Innovation Arena showcase at Ireland's prestigious National Ploughing Championships, the HydroGreen GLS 808 system has become a sought-after solution for progressive beef and dairy farmers seeking cost-effective, climate-smart feed alternatives.
