AIS Greenworks

AIS Greenworks is a division of ICI Industries and is a leading Australian owned and operated Turn Key solutions provider for the commercial greenhouse industry, servicing Australia and abroad, providing design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance services to the market.

Greenhouses are quickly becoming leading producers of fruit, vegetables, and flowers throughout Australia. In fact, the hydroponics industry is now the fastest growing food production sector in Australia.

Growing within a greenhouse enables the grower to control their environment, increasing yields and quality, while lowering inputs such as water, energy, and pesticides. Between our offices in Griffith, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and as an industry leader, AIS Greenworks are involved in a multitude of projects across Australasia ranging in both size and complexity. Our team are both approachable and hard working to ensure the outcome is optimal for the grower time and time again.

By and large, we are an engineering projects company that will design, supply and install the mechanical, hydraulic, and greenhouse systems required for competitive greenhouse operation.
