HISTORY

MADE IN BRANDENBURG

The idea for Secalflor was born in 1994 in Rheinsberg, north of Berlin, Germany. Originally developed solely for erosion control, field trials soon revealed the base material’s exceptional water retention properties and the resulting improvement in growing conditions.

After a series of application trials, various modifications to the product components, and optimisation of the manufacturing process, today’s Secalflor panels were created under the leadership of Dietmar Schmetsdorf.

HANDS-ON AND
FORWARD-THINKING

The unique properties of Secalflor panels open up opportunities for many applications and industries. For 20 years, our product has proven itself worldwide under a wide range of conditions and environmental influences. In the face of perhaps the greatest challenge of our time—climate change with its extreme weather and periods of drought—Secalflor offers hope for green, flourishing landscapes and predictable harvest success.

REORGANISATION

Convinced of the effectiveness of the Secalflor panels, lawyer Roger Schwarz and engineer Reinhard Vöhringer, together with developer Dietmar Schmetsdorf, restructured and expanded Secalflor in 2019 with a larger team and a future-oriented approach.

Particular emphasis was placed on ensuring that, despite the new structures, the considerable know-how accumulated over the previous 20 years was fully preserved. Thanks to this restructuring, Secalflor is well-equipped to face the challenges of the future.

WE LEAD THE WAY

Secalflor continues conducting intensive research and development to optimise mechanisms of action and discover new areas of application. In the future, we plan to manufacture Secalflor panels worldwide in our own local production facilities.
