What Triferto Fertilizers does

Triferto Fertilizers is an international wholesaler and producer of tailor-made mineral fertilizers, headquartered in Doetinchem, Netherlands, and operating as a 100% family-owned business within the Brokking Groep. The company supplies advisers, growers, arable farmers, livestock farmers, and chain partners in the potato-processing, dairy, and compound-feed industries across Northwestern Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany) and exports to more than 55 countries. Customers are served through dedicated regional sales teams, a self-serve customer portal (TrifertoWeb), and a network of 11 distribution centers supported by 12 sites with over 300,000 tonnes of storage capacity and 1.2 million+ tonnes of annual fertilizer throughput.

The product portfolio spans core fertilizer categories (nitrogen, phosphate, potassium/magnesium, NPK/NP/PK compounds, liquid, lime, and gypsum) alongside proprietary specialty concepts including Novurea (urease-inhibitor-treated urea reducing volatilization from 26% to 7%), FertiFlow (customized nitrogen-sulphur liquid blends with the largest inline mixing plant in Benelux), Novagran NPK (customized blended fertilizers), HUMICoat (humic/fulvic acid coating technology), and Terra-Stabil (DMPP-based slurry nitrogen stabilizer). Supporting digital tools include TrifertoWeb for 24/7 ordering and price visibility, N-Calculator for nitrogen price comparison, KALKulator for lime recommendations, and Blendweb for blend composition optimization. Registered trademarks (Novurea, Nutramon, Korn-Kali) and proprietary coating/blending methods underpin the product differentiation.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B wholesale of mineral fertilizers under quote-based pricing, complemented by fee-based services in blending, coating, bagging (including private label), warehousing, and distribution. The company is a member of Meststoffen Nederland (representing approximately 95% of Dutch mineral fertilizer revenue) and formed a European purchasing and logistics alliance with German cooperative RWZ effective January 2022, following the 2021 acquisition of Belgian player Pillaert. Recent operational moves include a new WPP bagging line commissioned in Ghent in April 2026 to support export growth and the planned closure of the Goor site in Q3 2026 due to declining demand for special blends.

Products and services

• Novurea Granular fertilizer product containing 46% stabilized nitrogen treated with urease inhibitor (NBPT) to minimize nitrogen loss through volatilization; converts urea into ammonium and nitrate gradually, reducing nitrate leaching risk. The Novurea-S variant contains 38% N + 18% S. Sold to growers, advisers and chain partners.
• FertiFlow Line of liquid fertilizers with balanced nitrogen and sulphur blends customized to crop and soil characteristics, optionally including nitrification or urease inhibitors for maximum nitrogen efficiency. Marketed to growers using field sprayers or spoke-wheel injectors; delivered in IBCs or bulk tankers.
• Novagran NPK Blended fertilizer line that allows spread of all required nutritional elements (N, P, K, Mg, Ca, S) in a single operation, with uniform grain size, high bulk density and optional inclusion of trace elements such as copper, cobalt, boron and selenium. Designed for arable and grassland growers.
• HUMICoat Proprietary coating technology that coats granular fertilizers with humic and fulvic acids to improve phosphate, potassium and magnesium utilization, activate soil life and stimulate seed germination and root development. Targeted at growers and advisers seeking enhanced nutrient efficiency.
• Terra-Stabil DMPP-based nitrogen stabilizer for slurry that temporarily halts conversion of ammonium into nitrate, reducing nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions while keeping nitrogen available in soil as ammonium longer. Marketed to livestock farmers and advisers.
