Sphaxx from Bergschenhoek

The expansion of Sphaxx’s production capacity is continuing with the commissioning of the new site in Bergschenhoek. The former nursery, covering an area of around six hectares, has been completely converted for the cultivation of sphagnum. The first three hectares have been in use since 1 March 2026, and the second half will also be operational from 1 May 2026.

Part of the greenhouse in Bergschenhoek is already around 25 years old. By opting for an existing greenhouse rather than a new build, we are underlining Sphaxx’s sustainable approach in production as well. For Sphaxx, the greenhouse has been technically adapted to the specific requirements of sphagnum cultivation, including new flooring and a modified irrigation system. The new site is thus future-proof and efficiently designed for the heating-free production of high-quality raw materials.

Combination of production and research strengthens innovative capacity

In addition to production, the site also serves as a research centre. The focus here is on further optimising Sphaxx’s cultivation methods, quality and scalability. By combining cultivation and research at a single site, market developments and the needs of nurseries can be taken into account even more directly and consistently. This aligns well with the overarching goals regarding product availability, cultivation reliability and innovation.

By expanding production capacity in Bergschenhoek, Klasmann-Deilmann is strengthening the foundation for the further development of Sphaxx. The new site supports the ambition to make renewable raw materials available on a larger scale without compromising on quality and homogeneity.
