Gardening was rediscovered, and greenhouses along with it. <\/p>\n<p>As a result, we saw a doubling in sales during the so-called &#8216;corona period&#8217;, both domestically and among our foreign distributors. At one point, we even saw a 300% increase in sales. Inquiries flooded in at a rapid pace, requiring us to focus our efforts on our promotional models.  <\/p>\n<p>To manage this high demand, we hired additional permanent and temporary staff. With success! We persevered throughout this entire busy period. We are therefore grateful for the dedication of all our employees; without them, this period would have looked very different.   <\/p>\n<h2>Supply chain challenges<\/h2>\n<p>In addition, we faced a global surge in raw material prices. Despite this increase and the supply challenges, we purchased large quantities of materials, which allowed us to reduce the backlog and resume problem-free deliveries since this summer. <\/p>\n<p>In the coming months, there will be no further delivery issues, and promotional models will be supplied from stock.<\/p>\n<h2>Towards a flourishing future<\/h2>\n<p>Although the demand for greenhouses may soon decrease slightly, we expect that the passion for gardening will endure. The same applies to the many lessons we have learned over the past year and a half. We will carry this knowledge into the future to serve our customers even better.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Interested in purchasing a greenhouse?<\/strong><br \/>\nDiscover our exceptionally <a href=\"https:\/\/janssens.be\/en\/greenhouses\/\">wide range<\/a> of top-quality Belgian greenhouses \u2014 unrivaled in craftsmanship and finish.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3042 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/janssens.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0878-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/janssens.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0878-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/janssens.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0878-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/janssens.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0878-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/janssens.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0878-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/janssens.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0878-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Have you already found your dream greenhouse?
