What COMPO Iberia does

COMPO Iberia (legal entity: COMPO IBERIA, S.L.) is a Barcelona-based private limited company that manufactures and distributes fertilizers, substrates, plant protection products, and lawn care solutions for the Spanish and Portuguese markets. The company is the Iberian Peninsula subsidiary of COMPO Group, a European gardening products conglomerate, and operates under a portfolio of more than 20 registered trademarks including COMPO SANA, COMPO BIO, COMPO TURBO, Blaukorn, Gesal, Algoflash, Aqua Depot, Fortigo, and GRANUPLANT. Its product range spans five main categories — substrates, fertilizers and leaf care, lawn care, plant protection (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides), and barrier/pest control products — with the COMPO BIO sub-line certified under EU Regulation 2018/848 for organic farming use.

The underlying technology stack centers on controlled-release fertilizer formulations (Blaukorn with DMPP nitrification inhibitor providing up to 8 weeks of nutrient release), water-retention substrate technology (Aqua Depot), bio-stimulant fertilizers (Fortigo with algae extracts), and an AI-powered chatbot for 24/7 gardening advice on the compo.es website. Substrate products comply with EU Fertilizing Products Regulation 2019/1009 and peat is sourced under Responsibly Produced Peat (RPP) certification. The portfolio is increasingly oriented around peat-free substrates and sustainable packaging using recycled plastics and paper.

The business model is B2C-led, routing products through a multi-tier network of local distributors, garden centers, hardware stores, and specialized gardening retailers across the Iberian Peninsula, supplemented by online store partnerships. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed and pricing is set at the retailer level rather than directly by COMPO Iberia. The customer base is structurally long-tail, composed of home gardeners and hobbyists across indoor plants, balconies, terraces, ornamental gardens, vegetable gardens, and lawns. The company employs between 501 and 1,000 people and is led by a small named management team (Oscar Sinca, Stephan Engster) reporting into the parent COMPO Group. No independent revenue, funding, or M&A history is available for the subsidiary.
