For our USA market, we developed our own Valent line with growers and for growers. The Valent line supports achieving the highest quality of your vegetables cultivation. Underneath you will find our Valent products and why we think USA growers benefit from these products.  

Valent (pepper) twine consist of two types of high quality plastic and two components for UV protection. The product can be characterized as strong and has a very high stretch point compared to other types of twine. 

“It is strong and does not stretch, so the rows are tight from start to finish. That works well and prevents damage and loss of quality,” says one of our Dutch customers, pepper grower Rob Moors, who tested the new Valent Pepper Twine in 2020. He is now using it on his entire 19 hectares. 

Tim van Steekelenburg explains that the Valent Twine is continuously being improved. Therefore, the Valent Pepper Twine has been introduced last year, based on experiences of our clients also in the USA. The Valent Pepper Twine has a higher stretch point, compared to the standard Valent Twine. Making it better suited not only for the pepper cultivation, but also in eggplants and melons. 

The Valent Clips are perfectly usable in combination with Valent (pepper) Twine. The clips are improved with a smart solid design and round edges. Damage to the crop is prevented by the round edges. Taking the sustainability aspect into account, the Valent Clips are made from 100% high-quality recycled material. This makes the Valent Clips environmental friendly. The anti-slip points ensures that the Valent Clip can handle high plant loads with less chance of the twine sliding.

After the introduction of the Valent Clips last year, quite some US clients have tried them out. They indicated that they liked the design with the rounded edges, and the way it worked overall. This also leaded to some nice orders. Get your Valent Clips now or request some samples to try!

The Valent O-hooks possess the quality you can expect from Royal Brinkman. The unique aspect of the hook is the free fall in one, simple movement. Due to the speed of hanging the hooks in the crop, it saves a lot of labor costs. The O-hooks can be easily attached to the plants and it is possible the use them for interplanting. 

The Valent O-Hooks are widely used by the US growers. Ask your representative about the possibilities! 

Valent Bio Twine is the most sustainable option for your crop. This product is 100% organic and 100% compostable, with the best properties. In comparison to other biological solutions, Valent Bio Twine has less loss in light and is compostable according to EN 13432. 

Contrasted to other biological alternatives, the Valent Bio Twine is stronger and has a longer life span. Did you know that our Valent Bio Twine is the only biological twine that can be used in combination with the O-hook? This perfect combination ensures saving labor costs and is an environmental friendly solution.

Lately we have found that more customers are considering the Valent Bio Twine. This is due to the corporate image that customers are trying to achieve, but also due to subsidies that could be available. Ask your representative about the possibilities!
