What agriKomp does

agriKomp GmbH is a German manufacturer and integrator of biogas and biomethane plant technology, founded in 2000 in Weidenbach, Bavaria (now headquartered in Merkendorf) by Robert Bugar and Michael Engelhardt. The company designs, engineers, constructs, and commissions complete anaerobic-digestion plants — ranging from compact modular units (agriSelect®, 55–265 kWel) to large custom installations (Indi-Plant, up to 2.5+ MWel) — and supplies the proprietary components that go into them: agitators (Paddelgigant®, AgriMix), feeding systems (Vielfraß®), tank construction (Formprotect®, a patented PVC formwork system), gas storage (Biolene® EPDM membranes), separators (Quetschprofi® Plus), and web-based monitoring software (akCockpit, Energiepilot). It also produces CHP units in the BGA and NGA series built around SCANIA and Liebherr engines, with up to 43% electrical efficiency, and membrane-based biogas-upgrading systems (agriPure®, 135–2,000 Nm³/h, ≥99.4% methane recovery) plus digestate-treatment systems (agriFer® Plus) using evaporation and reverse osmosis.

The company sells primarily to small and medium-sized livestock and crop farms, agricultural cooperatives, and biowaste operators across Europe, reaching an installed base of more than 1,000 plants and 400 MWel of total electrical capacity in 19 countries. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales through local consultants, wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany, France, Italy, Czech Republic, the UK, Poland, Switzerland, and Sweden, and sales partners in Spain and Mexico. The business model is project-based hardware revenue (complete plants plus individual components) supplemented by recurring service revenue through the ServiceUnion GmbH regional maintenance network (10 locations in Germany and France) and akCockpit software subscriptions. The company has been consistently profitable per public commentary but does not disclose financials; it operates under the bestore.group umbrella and has not taken external institutional capital.

Core offering

agriKomp designs, engineers, manufactures and commissions turnkey biogas and biomethane plants, supported by a proprietary component portfolio (agitators, feeders, separators, gas storage, tank construction, control systems) and combined heat and power (CHP) units. The company serves agricultural operations from compact 55 kWel slurry plants up to 2.5 MWel custom installations, and provides ongoing maintenance through the ServiceUnion network.

Product overview

agriKomp is a biogas plant manufacturer offering an integrated portfolio of biogas and biomethane plants, components, and services. The product portfolio centers on three main plant systems: agriSelect® (compact modular farm biogas plants 55-265 kWel), Indi-Plant (custom large-scale plants 55 kWel to 2.5+ MWel), and Güllewerk (mobile slurry plants). Biogas upgrading is handled by agriPure® (membrane technology, 135-2,000 Nm³/h) and digestate treatment by agriFer® Plus (evaporation and reverse osmosis). Components include agitators (Paddelgigant®, AgriMix), feeding systems (Vielfraß® ECO/LEF/TOP), tank construction (Formprotect®), gas storage (Biolene®, Double Membrane), separators (Quetschprofi® Plus), and control systems (akCockpit web application, Energiepilot for virtual power plant connectivity). CHP units span BGA 095/136/168 ETA and BGA 252 (55-530 kWel) based on SCANIA and Liebherr engines, with gas pre-treatment (agriClean) and NOX-LOG monitoring. The company provides comprehensive services through the ServiceUnion network, including planning, construction, maintenance, and repowering.
