Culterra Holland

What Culterra Holland does

Culterra Holland B.V. is a Dutch family-owned manufacturer of organic and organic-mineral fertilizers, headquartered in Workum, Netherlands, and operating two production plants in the Netherlands and Germany following the 2015 acquisition of Maltaflor Düngemittel GmbH. The company produces over 250 NPK fertilizer variants spanning bio-certified organic, straight organic, plant-based, and organic-mineral product lines, supported by proprietary Prilling, Extrusion Pellet, Predictable Release, and Rho Bio-Stimulant technologies that enable dust-free granules in sizes from 0.8mm to 8mm with quantified agronomic performance outcomes such as a 20% grass coverage improvement.

Culterra operates a full-service B2B go-to-market, producing 40+ private label and premium brands for customers across Europe and Asia and exporting to 30 countries. Its revenue model is built on quote-based, multi-year enterprise contracts that bundle product development, regulatory compliance, granulation, packaging (bags, cartons, tubs) and logistics into a turnkey offering for professional markets including golf and sport, retail, horticulture and landscaping. The company holds ISO 22000, ISO 9001, EU 834/2007 and CE Mark certifications, and positions regulatory expertise as a competitive moat.

Strategically, Culterra is in a measured, capacity-driven expansion phase under family ownership: the German acquisition doubled production capacity, the Dutch site was renewed and automated in 2010, and ongoing product launches (BIO, Universal, High Potassium, Rho-enabled SKUs) and active engagement in EU regulatory shifts indicate continued investment in product breadth and compliance-driven market capture. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, limited visibility into revenue or headcount, and reliance on enterprise customer concentration risk is partially mitigated by a diversified private-label book and four end-market segments.
