How Aquarius Innovations Continues to Build Sustainable Growth

News Report - Stronger Together After the Fire: How Aquarius Innovations Continues to Build Sustainable Growth

In May 2022, our company in Sittard-Geleen was hit by a severe fire. Our entire site was destroyed — a major setback for our whole team. Fortunately, there were no personal casualties. What helped us overcome this challenging period was our strong belief in our solutions and the support of our customers and partners. Instead of standing still, we used this time to further refine our processes and products. Today, we are stronger than ever and more committed to our mission: helping growers, tree nurseries, and green managers reduce irrigation and improve growth results.

Our solutions

Our liners, mats, and plant plugs are made from a patented hydrogel combined with natural fibers (such as jute, flax, and hemp). This material retains water and nutrients and stabilizes moisture around seeds, cuttings, or roots. The result: faster rooting, more uniform growth, and significantly reduced reliance on irrigation.

Why choose Aquarius Innovations?

• Up to 75% less water usage
• Up to 50% fewer nutrients required and 40–70% energy savings

Ready to test for yourself?

We invite you to experience our products firsthand. You can request test materials in the configuration that fits your application (liner, mat, plug, roll width, fiber blend). You will receive a short manual, and we are available to provide technical support throughout the test period.

Afterwards, we would be happy to evaluate the results together and discuss how we can tailor the optimal solution for you — including dimensions, absorption and release properties, and fiber composition.
