Who We Are

Designers.
Manufacturers. Builders.

Albert J. Lauer Inc. is a full-service greenhouse company — we design the structure, fabricate the aluminum framing ourselves, and build it on your site. No hand-offs between a designer, a factory, and a crew: one company carries the project from concept to completed glazing.

Our structures cover everything from university research ranges to retail growing operations to backyard hobby greenhouses, each engineered to fit the footprint you have and the environment your plants need.

"Probably the first full-time commercial fabricators and builders of aluminum greenhouses in the country." — On founders Albert J. Lauer & Arnold Zachman

One company.
Design to glazing.

Most growers deal with a designer, a separate manufacturer, and a separate construction crew — three companies, three sets of assumptions. We design, manufacture, and build every structure ourselves, so the greenhouse you approved on paper is the one that goes up on your site.

What We Build

Every Structure.
Engineered To Fit.

Each greenhouse is designed around your footprint and your crop, then fabricated in-house before we build it on site.

01

Institutional Greenhouses

Structures built for schools, municipalities, and public institutions — engineered to the standards a public project requires.

02

Research Facility Greenhouses

Precision-built environments for universities and research programs, where consistent light and climate control matter most.

03

Retail Greenhouses

Growing and display space built for garden centers and retail growers who need square footage that sells product.

04

Residential Greenhouses

Home greenhouses sized and engineered for a backyard footprint, without cutting corners on the aluminum frame underneath.

05

Grow Range Greenhouses

Multi-bay production ranges for growers who need to scale square footage without scaling headaches.

06

Custom Aluminum Benches

Greenhouse benching fabricated in the same aluminum, built to the dimensions of the space it's going into.
