Metrop
Metrop is a Dutch company specializing in the production of high-concentration liquid fertilizers. It was founded in 2006 by Agrotechniek BV in IJsselstein, Netherlands. The company is known for its unique liquid NPK fertilizer formulas and its commitment to knowledge sharing with growers.[1]
History
Metrop was founded in 2006 by Robert den Hartog, who remains the company's CEO. The company quickly gained a reputation for its highly concentrated fertilizers, which require 5 to 10 times less product than traditional fertilizers. This made Metrop particularly popular in the cannabis cultivation market, as well as with professional farmers seeking to boost crop yields.
In 2021, Metrop moved to a new, state-of-the-art factory in Lopik, Netherlands. This facility features three fully automatic bottling lines, reflecting the company's commitment to efficiency and innovation.
Metrop has achieved significant growth through word-of-mouth marketing and its participation in industry exhibitions. The company's expansion was further accelerated by the rise of the CBD market in Europe, where large-scale hydroponic farms sought out Metrop's expertise and problem-solving skills.
Products
Metrop's primary products are its highly concentrated liquid fertilizers, which are available in various NPK combinations.[2] Some of the most popular formulas include:
MR1: A growth fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 10-40-20
MR2: A bloom fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 10-20-40
MAM: A calcium and magnesium supplement
AminoXtrem: An amino acid supplement
The company also offers a range of other plant nutrition products, such as plant protectors and enzyme boosters.
Global Presence
Metrop fertilizers are currently sold in 35 countries worldwide. The company has faced challenges in the US market due to logistical issues, but it is reportedly working to overcome these obstacles.
Commitment to Sustainability
Metrop's highly concentrated fertilizers not only offer economic benefits to growers but also contribute to sustainability by reducing the amount of fertilizer required for crop production. This aligns with the company's vision of providing innovative and environmentally-conscious solutions for plant nutrition.
