That statement holds true whether you’re considering propagation substrates and ancillary products, like wetting agents and fertilizers, or the companies whose products you may choose.
Across markets, from floriculture and nursery to CEA and AgBiotech, the products you buy and the company you buy from work together to limit you or lift you to excellence.
If you’re already our customer, we’re grateful for your business and loyalty. If you’re not our customer yet, we hope you will be.
So why choose us? Here are four simple reasons you should choose Oasis Grower Solutions next:
1. Our Grower-Driven Mindset for Product Innovation
Many of you know our story. As a division of Smithers-Oasis, we got our start creating an engineered substrate that solved a big problem for the world’s leading poinsettia breeder more than half a century ago. A lot of years have passed between then and now, but grower needs still drive the products we develop and bring to market.
The way we see it, we’re here to solve your problems. So, we listen to our customers. And we listen to non-customers, too. You can experience the benefits of our approach in unique products like our clean, inert, engineered substrates — free of pests and pathogens, and customizable to meet your needs.
You’ll find the same sensitivity and responsiveness to growers’ needs and requirements in the customization options for our stabilized peat-based plugs, and our climate-optimized choices in engineered CEA substrates for precision hydroponic farming.
2. Our Passion for Research and Partnerships
Customer problems drive the innovation behind our products, but the passion and skill of our team bring our product solutions to life.
Our world-class research team includes our dedicated Oasis Grower Solutions plant scientist, our product applications specialist, and our research greenhouse technicians, as well as the entire Smithers-Oasis research team and their global expertise.
Dr. Vijay Rapaka, our Director of Global Grower Operations and Research, has devoted more than 25 years to horticultural and agricultural research and product development. In addition, we’ve had our own research greenhouse at our Kent, Ohio, USA, campus for more than 40 years. So when we make product claims, you can trust we’ve done the research.
But our dedication to research that advances the growing industries — and makes a difference for our customers — extends beyond our global team and our greenhouse doors.
We actively support industry-advancing work of horticultural and agricultural researchers across markets, in private companies, organizations like American Floral Endowment, and universities.
3. Our Stable, Scalable Local and Global Supply Chain
The past several years underscored how critical a stable supply chain is for growers in North America and worldwide. Oasis Grower Solutions operates two U.S. manufacturing facilities: our ISO 9001:2015 certified Kent, Ohio, facilities and a second facility in Apopka, Florida.
When you choose Oasis Grower Solutions, you tap into the Smithers-Oasis global network of manufacturing facilities, sales and marketing offices, distribution centers, and research laboratories that bring global expertise to you at a local level. We have the ability and capacity to quickly scale production to meet your needs and have product available for you when and where you need it.

The global reach of Smithers-Oasis extends to 130 countries, with physical research and/or manufacturing facilities in more than 20 countries worldwide.
