1983

Pierre Borms, independent dealer in pesticides and fertilizers, becomes fascinated by the influence of fertilizers on the growth and development of plants. During his many contacts with professional growers, he’s regularly confronted with deficiency diseases. Usually these problems are the result of an incorrect balance NPK, a nutrient deficiency or wrong acidity (pH) of the soil.

To solve this problems, he starts the manufacturing of its own liquid fertilizer under the brand Sunplant^®. Initially, only NPK compound fertilizers were made. After many experiments it was possible to add the right micronutrients (trace elements) in the purest form.

1987

There came a demand from abroad for exactly the same fertilizers, but with chelated micronutrients.

Also for the Belgium market, the micronutrients where inserted as chelated. Because the legislation was not adapted to these developments, the micronutrients couldn’t guaranteed on the packaging.

1996

Sunplant^® Buxus is the first liquid fertilizer especially for Buxus in Belgium, perhaps even in whole Europe. The fertilizer ensures not only the ideal NPK ratio, but also takes care of the alkaline character and iron demands of Buxus.

2000

Because of the high quality, our fertilizers where used for several years by orchid growers. There was much interest from this sector to develop a year-round formula, especially for orchids.
After extensive research and in consultation with growers, Sunplant^® orchid came on the market in smaller packages so it became available for the private sector.

2002

In September, an ultramodern filling line was installed for filling packaging of 250 ml to 5 litres. Both the filling, closing, labelling as attaching tracking is fully automatic. Also closing and printing on the boxes is done automatically.

2005

The incoming raw materials, production and outgoing products are traced.

October 2, 2006

The lack of expendability at the plant in Sint-Gillis-Dendermonde, the head office moved to Baasrode anywhere through most of the stock is stored and the filling is placed.
At the same time, all side issues moved to Baasrode.

The site in Sint-Gillis-Dendermonde continue to serve as storage of less frequently purchased goods and production unit for Sunplant^® fertilizers.

February 5, 2008

A whirlwind draws a strip of destruction across the region of Dendermonde.

The site in Sint-Gillis-Dendermonde is locates right in the barely 50 meters wide swath of the storm: the storage and manufacturing warehouses are heavily damaged. The construction of the adjacent farm houses of the parents are totally devastated. The family home is hardly damaged. Only by the good weather days it remains habitable.

At Baasrode the whirlwind passes at barely 10 meters of the other site. The damage remains limited to a few blown down containers.

Welcome to the site of Sunplant^®, the plant food.

High quality liquid fertilisers that distinguish from other fertilizers.
Our strengths:

Purity

Only by using the purest ingredients you can reach the highest quality plant nutrients, rich in minerals. To guaranty the purity, the raw materials are subjected on special quality control at our factory and our suppliers. During the production, the finished product is always checked.

Finished product

A finished product for us means that user’s need to take as minimal operations as possible.
For private customers, this means that it’s a homogeneous fertiliser where ‘shake before use’ isn’t necessary and the liquid can easily be dosed with the screw cap on the bottle.
Professional growers receive a complete NPK compound fertilizer, without recalculating every time the composition for the A- and B-boxes. The fertilizer can very easily dispensed with a dosing device or simply added in the tank of the irrigation water. The product in solution does not stain and is almost odorless.

Efficiency

Only by thorough dissections and investigation, there can be developed a fertilizer that actually meets the needs of the plant.
For each fertilizer is considered the best NPK ratio, specific micronutrients needed for the plant and the optimum acidity (pH).

Environment

Proper packaging is always necessary. For Sunplant^® fertilisers is deliberately chosen to use a simple packaging, so that the necessary amount of residual material is limited.
We are affiliated with Fost Plus (Green point) and Valipack. In this way each year is contributed to used packaging.

Cost

Without prejudice to the quality, efforts are made to keep the price of the final product as low as possible.
Thus the lowest possible is spend on marketing and advertising, so these costs don’t affect the final price for high quality fertiliser.
