DNA of Muclitech
Muclitech was founded in May 2019, after a contract was signed with a small fruits producer to developed the climate management system in their vertical farm. Muclitech has developped, for this research center, the climate management technologies they needed in order to reliably replicate a crop season. The climate management system worked for more than 2 years and was used to experiment with different climate settings, looking for the ones that will produce the perfect strawberry.
The Muclitech team is led by three passionate leaders committed to meeting today’s agricultural challenges. Alongside co-founders Jason Lesiège and Audrey Boisvert, CEO Philippe Razanakolona brings over 20 years’ experience in the manufacturing and innovation sectors.

They are supported by a team of dedicated employees, all driven by the desire to develop technologies that meet today’s environmental challenges.
