The BEUMER Group supplies packaging solutions for the widest possible range of potting soils: For perfect growth

The market for potting soils such as peat, humus and alternative plant substrates is growing. The BEUMER Group supplies tailor-made packaging solutions based on standardized machine concepts to pack these materials safely and ready for transport, although they are often very different in their consistency. The customer receives robust, durable and highly available systems for stable and palletized product stacks. 

“The corona pandemic has certainly fueled the demand for potting soil, peat, humus and alternative plant substrates considerably,” says Jörg Spiekermann, Head of the Consumer Goods Sales Division at the BEUMER Group. “During the pandemic, people couldn’t travel anymore, so they took more care of their gardens and patios.” This trend is still continuing.

However, the customers also include large retail chains, horticultural markets and owners of large garden areas who cultivate various types of vegetables in the professional and hobby sectors. The producers of potting soils come mainly from Europe, where the largest peat deposits are located. The BEUMER Group supplies these producers with complete packaging lines, including high-performance palletizing and packaging machines. For bagging and processing such as dosing, sieving and even chopping, the system provider works with partner companies, and assistance is also provided in selecting partners for consumables. Customers receive everything from a single source.
