Our goal is for plants to reach their full potential through the development of new technologies to promote the sustainability of global agriculture, and our specialty line is one of the key elements to accomplish this goal. In addition to our organic product line, our focus is on more environmentally friendly agriculture, created and optimized thanks to continuous research and facilities dedicated to developing certified organic products.
BRANDT is synonymous with agricultural know-how
We offer effective and quality solutions for all crops, based on a combination of our years of technological know-how together with one of the most complete production plants in the European agrochemical sector and the important R&D work implemented by our parent company.
Furthermore, since 2011 we have had our own team at NASCAR Xfinity Series and since 2015 at Brazil Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge.
Our facilities
We have one of the most complete production and R&D centres in Europe, located in Seville. It has a constructed surface area of over 14,000 square meters, including office and storage areas, and forms the backbone for the design, development and manufacture of all our plant health and nutrition products adapted to the EMEA market.
The high production capacity of our centre allows us to focus our efforts on offering a faster and more flexible customer service, facilitating the delivery of the product in a timely and appropriate manner. We adapt ourselves to the needs of our customers. Our facilities are therefore one of the most important pillars of our organization, allowing us to be one of the leading agriculture suppliers for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
