Priva is a Dutch high-tech company founded in 1959 that develops hardware, software, and digital services for climate control and automation. Originally established as an importer of greenhouse heaters, the company has evolved into a provider of integrated platforms combining embedded devices, edge gateways, and cloud services to optimise environments for both plants and people across multiple industries.
The company operates through three primary market segments. Horticulture customers rely on Priva's greenhouse climate control and water management solutions. Building automation clients - including offices, hotels, hospitals, and retail spaces - use smart building management systems. A growing segment focuses on controlled environment agriculture and plant research applications. Priva's technology platform delivers energy and water efficiency across these verticals through a combination of physical devices, software solutions, and complementary digital services.
With over 600 colleagues and offices in 16 locations across 12 countries, Priva maintains a significant international footprint. Its solutions are deployed in more than 100 countries through a network of over 400 installation partners, making it a substantial player in climate control automation at global scale. The company remains privately owned.
