Colorado Greenhouse Holdings, Inc.
 PROFILE
Though regarded as a leading US grower of premium greenhouse tomatoes, Colorado Greenhouse Holdings is now playing ketchup. Using beneficial insects for pest control, the company annually provides nearly 40 million pounds of beefsteak and vine-cluster "hothouse" tomatoes to supermarkets. It runs five hydroponic greenhouses in Colorado. However, blight and employee turnover contributed to the closure of two facilities in New Mexico. These problems combined with low market prices pushed the company to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early 2000. Colorado Greenhouse owns a 25% stake in the Greenver group of Mexican tomato companies. Investment firms led by Cogen Technology own most of the company.
