Agrosolution GmbH

What Agrosolution GmbH does

AGROsolution GmbH is an Austrian specialty agricultural-input manufacturer founded in 2008 by Peter Huemer and headquartered in Linz, Upper Austria. The company formulates and markets foliar fertilizers, biostimulants, biological plant protection products, water-management agents, and adjuvants for both conventional and organic farming, with a stated customer base of more than 25,000 farms across 12+ countries. The portfolio is organized around the 4Plants family (Getreide-Kombi, Nährstoff-Kombi, ECO, Stabil, Wein-/Obst-Kombi, PhosBor-Kombi, Humin-Plus, Amino-Top, Alga, Zitro), the AGROSOL 2.0 plant stimulator, AQUAsatis water-management product, and the NovaFerm bacterial range (Multi, Viva, Sirius, Orion, plus Rizoline, Fitobact, Mycobact, Fitobit, Fitowhite, Organic-Balance) sourced from BTU-Center Europe under an exclusive German distribution agreement signed in August 2024.

The company's core technology is its patented micro-particle isolation method, granted in Austria (2016), Europe (2018), and the United States (January 2019), which enables simultaneous combination of solid microparticles and liquid active ingredients without mutual efficacy interference. Active ingredients are carried as complexing agents and applied as a fine foliar spray, penetrating through stomata and cuticle to stimulate photosynthesis and plant development — a mechanism validated by the University of Kiel. Products are manufactured in a fully automated Linz facility with 160-tonne raw-material silos and up to 18,000 L/day output. The company also holds organic-input listings with FiBL Germany, Easy-Cert Austria, and Skal Bio Controle NL, and has received consecutive Pamira climate-protection certificates through 2024.

AGROsolution generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of agricultural inputs priced individually at contract conclusion (no public price list). Distribution runs through a regional field-sales force covering Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, and Slovenia, supplemented by an independent partner/representative network with formal customer protection, plus agricultural traders (Agrarhändler) and a Netherlands trading partner (AGROWIN). Sales support is delivered via agronomist-trained Fachberater conducting on-farm consultation, a YouTube/Spotify podcast series ('AGROsolution – Landwirtschaft – aus der Praxis für die Praxis'), presence at major agricultural trade shows (DLG Feldtage, MeLa, Öko-Feldtage), and downloadable product catalogs and seasonal Rundschreiben. The company is privately held and founder-operated, with Peter Huemer and Stefan Stassen as managing directors and approximately 20 employees.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• BTU-Center EuropecoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 1 August 2024In August 2024, AGROsolution secured an exclusive distribution agreement with BTU-Center Europe for Germany. BTU products (bacterial preparations including NovaFerm Multi, NovaFerm Viva, Rizoline, Fitobact, Mycobact, Organic-Balance, etc.) are now exclusively distributed in Germany through AGROsolution's sales network. BTU is one of the largest manufacturers of bacterial preparations in Europe with over 2,300 experiments on 4.5 million hectares supporting product efficacy. The partnership combines BTU's product portfolio with AGROsolution's market position, sales expertise, and regional access, creating significant synergies.
• AGROWINminorChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorAGROWIN serves as the trading partner (Handelspartner) for AGROsolution in the Netherlands. Gerben Houwers (AGROWIN) manages the Dutch market, handling distribution of AGROsolution products. AGROWIN also distributes the AGROsolution/AGROWIN grassland product (referenced in trial results 'AGROWIN Niederlande 2020').
• BioPlant Chemie Kft.coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerBioPlant Chemie Kft. collaborated with AGROsolution GmbH on a 3-year accredited GEP (Good Experimental Practice) field trial demonstrating NovaFerm Multi's ability to significantly reduce AMPA (glyphosinate metabolite) contamination in soil. The study was conducted across 5 different soil types with accredited laboratories. This partnership validates AGROsolution's product efficacy claims through rigorous scientific testing.

Direct peers

• Hello Nature (Italpollina): Italy-based producer of biostimulants, organic fertilizers, and biological crop inputs. Partially overlaps with AGROsolution's bacterial product line (NovaFerm, Rizoline) and humic-acid-based Humin-Plus offering.
• AgroLiquid: US-based liquid fertilizer manufacturer focused on crop nutrition and foliar-applied products. Comparable in their emphasis on liquid formulation technology and direct-to-grower distribution, though AGROsolution operates at smaller scale and with a stronger biostimulant/bacterial mix.
• Valagro (Syngenta Biologicals): Italy-based biostimulant specialist (now part of Syngenta Group) producing plant nutrition and biostimulant products. Closely comparable to AGROsolution's biostimulant and foliar product ranges targeting global specialty and broad-acre crops.
• Brandt Consolidated: US-based manufacturer of foliar nutrition, micronutrients, and specialty fertilizer products. Direct competitor in the foliar fertilizer and adjuvant category, with similar positioning around patented formulations and crop-specific micronutrient blends.
• Tradecorp International: Global manufacturer and distributor of biostimulants, specialty fertilizers, and crop nutrition products. Directly comparable to AGROsolution's foliar fertilizer and biostimulant portfolio (4Plants line, AGROSOL 2.0) with similar target customers (commercial and specialty crop growers).
• Biolchim: Italian manufacturer of biostimulants, liquid fertilizers, and special plant nutrition products. Offers a similar functional product set (foliar nutrition, biostimulants, fertigation) and serves overlapping customers in European specialty agriculture.

Broad incumbents

• COMPO EXPERT: European specialty fertilizer incumbent offering slow-release, foliar, and fertigation products. Competes with AGROsolution in specialty crop and turf markets but operates at much larger scale and across a wider product portfolio.
• Yara International: Global crop nutrition leader offering foliar products, biostimulants, and specialty fertilizers. Indirect competitor since AGROsolution's differentiated micro-particle technology is one of the few areas AGROsolution competes against Yara's offerings in European specialty crops.
• Haifa Group: Global specialty fertilizer manufacturer with leading position in water-soluble and foliar nutrient products. Overlaps with AGROsolution's 4Plants portfolio in specialty crop nutrition but at significantly larger scale and geographic reach.

Others

• BTU-Center Europe: European bacterial-preparation manufacturer and AGROsolution's exclusive distribution partner in Germany for NovaFerm, Rizoline, and Fitobact lines. Listed as a peer because of overlapping product categories (soil bacteria, biostimulants) and the structural dependency — BTU is both supplier and category partner.
