Passion for a better future

Grodan supplies innovative and sustainable growing media solutions for professional growers and home gardeners. For almost 50 years our team has been dedicated to creating the optimal environment for roots resulting in healthy and strong plants. We are driven by developing the most sustainable growing solutions and by making these accessible to communities across the globe. This is our contribution to a future-proof horticulture that will provide people around the world with access to healthy food not only today but for generations to come.

Our growing media solutions are designed for Precision Growing, which is the most sustainable way of growing. This is all about giving the plant exactly what it needs. This effective way of growing leads to a better yield and quality of fresh produce while at the same time using valuable resources in the most efficient way.

Producing more with less is in our roots. Since we invented hydroponic stone wool growing in 1969 we have continuously evolved the Grodan approach to sustainable growing. Our first customers started growing hydroponically to avoid disinfection of the soil which was done with methyl bromide, a heavy toxic chemical. Our growing media enabled them to provide the plants with water and fertiliser much more precisely and efficiently. By doing so the yield per square meter further increased, while at the same time saving water, fertiliser and subsequently saving on costs.

Grodan can be seen as one of the Founding Fathers of Precision Growing for the horticulture industry. Today, growers make use of a wide range of innovative products for the entire growing cycle from the start of propagation till harvesting.

Precision Growing enables professional growers to better control important growing parameters and to ensure the optimal growing environment for root development in stone wool. Grodan is the number one of the world in growing media solutions for the professional horticulture industry and has the purpose to “empower Precision Growing for everyone”.

This sustainable growing method holds promising potential in countries with high population growth where demand for resource-efficient food production is already high and will continue to rise in the future. Grodan hydroponics can be sited anywhere, including in urban areas that would otherwise be completely unsuitable for traditional soil-based production. Inner-city derelict land and even unused buildings such as old mills, factories and office blocks can now become unique growing areas for our food. The resulting reduction in food miles also has an additional sustainability impact on the food chain.
