From professionals for professionals

The production of standardized and individual substrates for the commercial horticulture is one of the core competences of the company Gramoflor. Whether it is for the cultivation of ornamental plants, for nurseries, perennial or vegetable growers – the customer requirements always have top priority. With the support of our consultants, the substrates are developed on site and in direct contact with the customer. Quality from the start! has the top priority!

In this process, characteristics like irrigation water quality, irrigation technique, the particular cultivation and the pot- and container size are very individual and taken into account.

It is the combination of the most modern technology in our own factories, the use of high quality raw materials and decades of experience of the Gramoflor staff, that creates the ideal preconditions for the production of high-performance substrates with crop safety.

The substrates are delivered as a loose product, in Big Bales or in 70-litre bags. Gramoflor consultants support you in the selection of the right substrate.

Also available by Gramoflor are professional substrates for ecological farming conform to the VO (EG) no. 834/2007 and the implementing provision (EG) no. 889/2008, attachment 1 (partly listed at FiBL) and also peat-free professional substrates.

Knowing that peat is rather a fossil than a renewable resource and that the peat substitutes wood fibre and cocos can already proportionally work very well in professional horticulture, the company Gramoflor continues to go on offense. ‘‘Until the end of 2020 we will no more produce any substrate or soil without peat substitutes in our own factories“, Josef Gramann the managing partner explains, ‘‘by doing so, we emphasize the whole matter and push the peat reduction significantly.“ He adds: ‘‘With a peat replacement quota of real 20 Vol.-% spread over all professional substrates we have already exceeded the sector average and the experiences of recent years have shown that with our own wood fibre and now coco from our own processing we can reach substrate qualities, which absolutely speak for more peat reduction.
