The production and packaging of potting compost began as a family business, using rudimentary equipment and methods.
Matécsa Kft. was established, and the site of the current premises was purchased in the same year.
Acquisition of a company holding peat extraction rights, comprising a 70-hectare peat bog, thereby ensuring a continuous supply of high-quality black peat; in addition, a new warehouse was handed over.
Expansion of the Florimo potting compost range; purchase and commissioning of a new automated packaging line.
Following successful negotiations, exports to the Slovak, Slovenian, Croatian and Bosnian markets. Further expansion of the production hall.
Major site developments: production line, warehouse extension, construction of covered storage facilities. Blending of raw materials based on computerised recipes to ensure consistent, high quality.
Further improvements to production technology in response to increased market demand. The
first automated production line to be used in Hungary. Our company launched its first PremiVit product range, the 100%, made from natural ingredients.
At the end of the year, our company became a member of the Italian Biolchim Group. The Biolchim Group is a leading European manufacturer specialising in the
innovative production of specialised fertilisers and biostimulants; its products, manufactured at its various plants around the world,
are available in more than 70 countries.
The FLORIMO product range has been given a new design. Our products are now also available in the Czech Republic.
Our company has become part of the J.M. Huber Group. Built on a tradition of strong customer relationships, high ethical standards and technological leadership, Huber is one of the largest family-owned companies in the USA.
Today, Matécsa Kft. has become one of the leading manufacturers in Central and Eastern Europe, producing 100,000 m³ of potting compost annually. Our high-quality products guarantee the reliable and optimal growth of plants in almost every crop.
