Everything that is good must have a solid foundation. Since the mid-1980s, we have been exploring the use of microorganisms as a resource-efficient alternative to conventional systems in agriculture. As early as 1986, we achieved a decisive breakthrough by producing one of the first animal feeds without antibiotic growth promoters—while maintaining the same effectiveness and cost-effectiveness for farmers.
In the years since, we have developed our range of solutions and applied for many patents for different microorganism cultures and their effects.

Our research is broad in scope: Over 300 different microorganisms—many of which we discovered ourselves—are stored at –80°C in our facilities and form the basis of our formulations. As one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of microbial stock solutions, we have many years of experience and extensive microbial expertise.
Our products are created through a multi-stage fermentation process that we are continuously refining. We deliberately rely on our own developments and processes, which we control entirely—from the individual microorganism strain to the finished product. In contrast, many products available on the market are based on purchased stock solutions, which are usually processed in a single-step procedure.
In our in-house microbiology laboratory—where the foundation for our products is laid and quality assurance takes place—we lay the groundwork for our success through our microbiologists and experts in agriculture and professional horticulture, as well as through close collaboration with production managers and commercial farms.
Under the leadership of our R&D Director, Dr. nat. techn. Katharina Kraxberger, our teams—including staff specifically assigned to a research station in Scotland—work daily to further develop our products. Our goal is to create microbiological products that combine the highest quality with optimal transportability and shelf life.
We also rely on strong international partnerships: Together with research institutions in Scotland, England, and Japan, we are already developing the solutions of tomorrow. Our products are extensively tested under both laboratory and field conditions, continuously refined, and thus optimized for future challenges.
Always with the same goal: to reduce the use of pesticides and antibiotics—while actively protecting our environment.
