Mains water damage is an often-underestimated risk for horticultural businesses. In his short lecture, risk consultant Thomas Stiller highlights typical causes such as burst pipes or defective irrigation systems and shows the sometimes serious consequences for plant stocks, operating equipment and operational processes. Effective preventive measures are presented on the basis of practical examples, which help to minimise damage and protect operations. The lecture is aimed at horticultural contractors who want to better understand their risks and take out targeted insurance.
Photovoltaic and agri-photovoltaic systems offer innovative ways of generating energy, combining economic efficiency with sustainability. In his lecture, risk consultant Klaus Bingel will provide insights into the various types of system, their possible uses and the advantages they offer, particularly for horticultural businesses. In addition, suitable insurance solutions will be presented to protect the systems and their yields against damage caused by severe weather, technical defects and other risks. The lecture is aimed at anyone who wants to learn about technical options and optimally protect their investments.
Many horticultural businesses are increasingly investing in photovoltaic systems (PV systems). We offer extended insurance cover for these systems, including new technologies such as battery storage systems, accumulators, dedicated transformers and permanently installed charging stations for electric vehicles.

Gartenbau-Versicherung, a specialist insurer for European horticulture, will be represented at the IPM in Essen from 28 to 31 January 2025. The experts in all aspects of insurance can be found in technology hall 3, stand C37. ‘We are looking forward to intensive exchanges with the industry, sharing our knowledge in specialist lectures and being a stop on the daily Speed Learning Tour, which gives young professionals a special trade fair experience,’ said Christian Senft, Chairman of the Board of Gartenbau-Versicherung.
Expertise live: from water damage to agri-PV
The programme of events at the stand includes a short presentation by risk consultant Thomas Stiller. He will be speaking about complex tap water damage on Wednesday, 29 January at 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. The horticultural engineer will be paying particular attention to the distinction between insured damage and damage related to renovation backlogs.
On Thursday, Klaus Bingel, horticultural engineer and long-standing risk consultant at Gartenbau-Versicherung, will be providing information on insurance solutions for PV and agri-PV systems from 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Speed-Learning: an interactive experience not only for young visitors
‘We are excited to see how our Speed Learning contribution is received and look forward to the discussions that will arise from it,’ says Johannes Jares-Schurz, Head of Human Resources Development at Gartenbau-Versicherung. He welcomes the Speed Learning initiative, which the plant school has organised in cooperation with IPM. As a further contribution to the promotion of young talent, risk consultant Fiona Fernandez will talk about her career and her work for Gartenbau-Versicherung at the ‘Beruf + Karriere’ forum on Thursday morning.
To summarise: a visit to the Gartenbau-Versicherung stand promises to be both exciting and informative. Whether at the specialist lecture or in a personal conversation with the risk consultants on site: the IPM offers plenty of opportunities to make contacts.
