May we introduce to you

C point, Training and Consultancy for mushroom growing, offers training and advice in order to provide employers and their staff with the necessary expertise.

C point was set up on May 1 2000 and originated from the close co-operation between IPC Plant Horst (Mushroom Growers ’Training Centre) and DLV (advisory group for mushroom growing). Our field of activity is therefore a combination of both parties’ activities. C point is an organisation oriented towards the mushroom sector. C point has resulted in a unique organisation which is able to tailor to the particular needs of mushroom growers and supply companies regarding expertise. We are in close contact with the mushroom sector, the Mushroom Experimental Station and supply and delivery companies. C point is a subdivision of DLV Plant BV and there is much room and creativity for investments in new developments and in many areas the knowledge of the available specialists can be used. The knowledge and experience of an enthusiastic team of teachers and advisers guarantee top quality advice, training or courses!
