General information
- Short Summary
-
The company is specialized on producing Paulownia seedlings with micropropagation laboratory processes. The seedlings have a growth capacity up to 5 metres a year, enabling the harvesting within 7-8 years, meeting the growing demand for timber.
The SME is located in Veszprém (Hungary), the technology enables to produce up to 750.000 seedlings/year.
SME offers micropropagated seedlings suitable for further cultivation for resellers and customers, who are interested in sustainble cultivation - Full Description
-
The Company produces seedlings with micropropagation and acclimatization technologies under laboratory conditions. The varieties are licensed hybrids, based on own biotechnical development.
The laboratory and acclimatization greenhouses have been set up by the end of 2021, followed by one-year long adjustment and commissioning processes.
The production line is capable to produce more than 750.000 seedling/year from micro cuttings, with the supervision of biotechnical engineers and other professionals.
Compared to conventional pre-cultivation processes, this innovative technology guarantees to produce homogeneous and healthy plants due to the sterile laboratory conditions.
The laboratory's capacity enables to produce large amount of seedlings for plantation purposes for those partners, who are interested in commercial planting to produce wood and timber, in a sustainable way.
The micropropagated seedlings are packed and transported in hermetically sealed acclimatization boxes in various sizes (12, 28 and 63 seedlings/box). Due to the „hibernated” condition, the plants last for weeks, therefore they can be transported and stored before plantation.
The boxes' dimensions (L×W×H, mm): 12 pieces: 120×165×100, 28 pieces: 160×260×100, 63 pieces: 260×325×100.
Before planting, an acclimatization process shall be carried out, which takes about 3-4 weeks. The acclimatization process does not require special equipment or knowledge. Detailed instructions are attached to the products.
Plantation of micropropagated, acclimatized seedlings allows to cultivate fast-growing, cheap and high-quality timber material either for various industrial purposes – such as building industry, carpentry, tree nursery - or for private persons (gardening, decoration).
Due to the increasing demand for timber, plantation has significant financial benefits.
Their vision is to make wood production available to everyone who is interested in sustainable, environment-friendly methods.
With their product and know-how the plantation does not require special skills or knowledge, and contributes to nature conservation in a relative short-term (<10 years) period. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Innovative aspects: the applied micropropagation technology is currently the most efficient process for providing quality-assured, healthy seedlings in large volume.
Due to the laboratory conditions, infections and other non-compliances are excluded. The conditions necessary for the proper development of the plants (temperature, humidity, nutrients, light etc.) are controlled and supervised by professional equipment and experts.
The production line allows to establish large plantations for commercial purposes, which can be harvested is 7-8 years. This is a worthwhile alternative of traditional forestry. Cultivation of plantations contributes to the demand for timber in a sustainable way
Sustainable plantation also reflects on environmental and climate change related issues.
Depending on the varieties, one hectare (100×100 m) plantation contains 600 – 850 plants, with 40-50 tons CO2/year absorption capacity.
Plantations also refer to other environmental challenges, such as: green space development, utilization/ rehabilitaion of abandoned sites (even brownfields).
Due to the trees' noise and dust pollution reduction capability, the establishment of plantations around industrial factories also can be considered. Additionally, green area development improves the environmental performance of the given company.
Plantations also reduce the pressure on natural forests, preserving the environment for future generations.
Due to the small-quantity packaging and guidelines, the product is recommended for those non-experts too, who are willing to get involved plantation even in domestic scale. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
Their aim is to establish partnerships with resellers and business companies, primarily but not exclusively in sales, agricultural and manufacturing sector.
They would like to establish partnership with plant product distributors/sellers, but they are also interested in cooperation with those partners, who are planning to cultivate plantations.
The company is capable to provide and transport the products in Europe, including the related placement elements (shelves, guidelines etc.). The sizes of acclimatization boxes and accessories (pre-fabricated displays with 6 shelves) have been optimized for EUR-pallet sizes (2 displays/pallet). One storage display contains 41 boxes (6 large, 12 medium and 23 small).
The company also provides professional support (website, tutorials, Q\A services etc.) and the necessary permissions (e.g Plant Passport).
Among agricultural partnership, they deliver the requested amount of seedlings. As the company cultivates own plantations, they can also provide professional advisory services related to establishment and maintenance. - Type and Size of Partner
