Den Ouden

Based in Helmond

Our production facility serves as the heart of our operations, where we meticulously craft our range of soil enhancers, organic fertilizers, and bio-stimulants. From formulation to packaging, each step is executed with precision and care, ensuring the highest quality standards are met.

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond production, as we boast a vast network of partners worldwide for seamless distribution. This extensive reach allows us to deliver our solutions to growers across the globe, empowering them to achieve their agricultural goals efficiently and effectively.

Despite our global presence, we remain deeply rooted in our Dutch heritage, with a sense of pride in our origins. Our Netherlands-based headquarters is a testament to our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and agricultural excellence.

At GrowSolutions, we are honored to be a part of the Den Ouden family, and we look forward to continuing our journey of growth, collaboration, and service to growers worldwide.

Purpose, vision and mission

Purpose
We are here for future generations.

Vision
We live in a world where soil has a lot to endure. From drought to flooding, from petrification to impoverishment and from pollution to traffic. We respond to developments in which the living environment becomes more liveable again.

Mission
As a family company, we want to ensure that several generations after us can live and work comfortably and safely, eat sufficient and healthy food and relax in their living environment. Our aim is therefore to pass on the living environment to the next generation in a more sustainable way. We do this by making soil healthy, fertile and liveable.
