Growing smarter for ​ healthier food and greener living

We develop products and services supporting plant growth in greenhouses, gardens and urban greeneries. We always start from the same principle: fit for purpose. It is very important that the chosen recipe for growing media materials fits the purpose of the user, otherwise, all the resources, energy, and manpower to create the substrate are wasted. At the same time, guided by our sustainability roadmap, targets and reporting, we aim to improve selected environmental and social performance indicators throughout the value chain, with collaboration and innovation. The best way for us to do so is by offering safe and effective growing solutions, which are produced under defined environmental, social and quality management practices.

Professional growing

For professional greenhouse growers – of, for example, mushrooms, vegetables, lettuce, soft fruits, tree seedlings and ornamental plants –we offer continuous quality monitoring of our substrates as well as onsite support. We have tooling in place to help to optimise growing performance and selected environmental indicators of our substrate recipes. After the first use of our substrate materials, we offer solutions for after-use, for example recycling. This is a continuous innovation effort that we work together with our customers, knowledge institutes, and other sector organisations.  ​

Retail

For retail, we offer solutions, products and customised mixtures based on responsibly sourced raw materials and evaluated through our standardised quality management process. Our packages contain recycled content and are recyclable. We help consumers to optimally use our products and create healthy and green communities. ​

Landscaping

Our  expertise in landscaping leads to green  roofs, facades and outside areas. Using the local situation as starting point we try to reuse as much of the existing landscape elements and materials as possible. We develop landscaping solutions that can support stormwater management, heat reduction and plant diversity when designed for the local conditions.                                                                                      ​

We aim at developing high-tech growing media of constant quality by using locally sourced raw materials in combination with value added products that are plant or application specific.
