Hydrofarm and Atmosphere Announce Strategic Distribution Partnership

Hydrofarm, LLC, the leading independent wholesaler and manufacturer of hydroponics equipment and horticultural products, and Atmosphere, a manufacturer of innovative ventilation products for commercial and horticultural applications, today announced a strategic distribution partnership to serve the growing indoor horticulture and legal cannabis industries across North America.

Designed and made in Canada to ensure high performance, reliability, quality and durability, Atmosphere’s wide range of ventilation products are now available throughout Hydrofarm’s ten strategic North American locations. Atmosphere’s Vortex® Powerfans are the performance leader in its category, featuring a powerful motor combined with its aerodynamically designed shape to improve and sustain optimal growing conditions. Unique to the ventilation industry, the Vortex Powerfan VTX Series features a 10 year warranty.

“Ventilation is a critical component to properly managing the indoor growing environment, which is necessary for pest control, overall plant health and maximizing yield,” said Peter Wardenburg, Chief Executive Officer of Hydrofarm. “As the North American indoor growing and cannabis industries continue to expand, we see significant opportunity in providing commercial growers with the highest quality ventilation products on the market. Atmosphere is an ideal partner to serve this growing market and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”
