Fertilife Benelux

What Fertilife Benelux does

Fertilife Benelux B.V. is a Dutch private limited company headquartered in Terneuzen, Netherlands, that manufactures and globally distributes a single product: Sunfert Duo, a granular ammonium sulphate fertilizer with an N-21% / S-24% composition. The company operates a single-site plant complex with two automated production lines, a sophisticated conveyor system, and a 125,000-tonne annual nameplate capacity, staffed by 27 personnel. Its manufacturing process is described as environmentally friendly, with no harmful emissions, no harmful waste, and no by-products, and the product is positioned as a water-soluble, nitrate-free nitrogen-sulphur fertilizer of prolonged effect suitable for basal, starter, and side/top-dress application across cereals, Brassicaceae, garlic, onion, potato, sugar beet, and other sulphur-demanding crops.

The company's commercial architecture is structurally distinct from its manufacturing footprint. Fertilife Benelux is part of the international Agrofertrans group of companies, and all global sales are routed through a single official distributor, Sunfert S.A., based in Geneva, Switzerland. Inbound raw materials and outbound finished products move through the Port of Terneuzen under a 10-year logistics and storage agreement with Verbrugge International B.V., leveraging the North Sea coast for low-cost ship and barge transport. Marketing is primarily handled through a multilingual corporate website (English, German, French, Dutch) supplemented by participation in industry events such as AFCOME conferences in France.

The product is certified compliant with EU Regulation 2019/1009 for EU fertilising products and with REACH (EC 1907/2006) for chemical safety, and Fertilife publishes EU declarations of conformity and safety data sheets as standard commercial documentation. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; pricing is handled bilaterally through the Sunfert S.A. distributor channel. The combination of single-product exposure, single-distributor go-to-market, and a single production site represents a focused but narrowly diversified operating profile.
