wood fibers, FERTILPOT, in the 60’s. Little by little new products are born
to expand its offering and accelerate its international expansion. Still today, FERTIL
produce in France, on its original site in the heart of the Vosges mountains.

OUR HISTORY
By the end of the 19th century, the present site of the FERTIL plant, in the Vosges, already housed at the time the cardboard of Saut de la Cuve. In 1900, the Henri Boucher family bought the site to continue producing cardboard. It is in this factory that the FERTILPOT was created in the 1950’s and is still produced! The first production lines appeared in 1960.
Since then, FERTIL has continued to innovate and market products such as PLANT-PROD (1971), FERTISS (1973) and NUTRICOTE (1986). In 1987, FERTIL introduced, in France, the first wetting agent.
In the 2000’s, FERTIL expanded with the redemptions of PHP Distribution, the “biodegradable pots” branch of the Irish company ERIN, and set up a unit for the production of clods in England. FERTIL also takes over the trademarks, patents and goodwill related to Algosa’s business: UNIVERS BIO.
From 2010, FERTIL is the only company to offer a professional, peat-free biodegradable pot and continues to innovate in 2017 with its new FERTILPOT NT range, awarded with the first prize INNOVERT OR!
FERTIL will always listen to its customers to imagine and design, alongside them, the products and services of tomorrow.
