Plant factories combiningbiotechnology and IoT

We develop turnkey plant factories that integrate in vitro propagation and vertical hardening in a controlled environment, with automation, remote monitoring, and modular scalability. The goal: constant supply of elite plant material for food and environmental restoration.

In vitro propagation

In vitro propagation

Uniform, disease-free plants through plant tissue culture techniques in a controlled environment.

Vertical hardening

Vertical hardening

Efficient transition from lab to field with controlled environmental variables to maximize survival.

Automation & IoT

Automation & IoT

Climate control, irrigation, and real-time remote monitoring to optimize every stage of production.

Experts in biotechnology, business, and technological innovation working together to transform plant production.

Our Story

From the beginning at CHAK we had a clear vision: to produce plants and food at scale, at low cost, and pesticide-free. We tried different existing production systems, but none met our standards of sustainability, scalability, and efficiency. So we made the most challenging decision: create our own technology and methodology.

A system designed to produce better, cleaner, and more accessible, thinking about the producer, the food, and the planet.
