Pindstrup Mosebrug A/S, one of the world’s leading producers of growing media for professional growers – has acquired La Mundial de Coco, a Dominican Republic-based supplier of high-quality coco products. The move by Bulrush Horticulture’s parent company expands its renewable raw-material base and strengthens its sourcing capabilities, securing coir supply for Bulrush customers.
Pindstrup CEO, René Gjerding says of the acquisition: “I am very thankful that the owner of La Mundial de Coco, Alberto Rosi, and his team have placed their trust in Pindstrup and allowed us to take over this well-run company. The acquisition supports our growth journey as well as the green transition that Pindstrup is fully committed to. Our target for 2028 is to reach 40% non-peat raw materials in our growing media, and we are already at 34%. La Mundial de Coco’s products and the possibilities to grow this business is a significant step in the right direction of setting even more ambitious targets to include more sustainable raw materials in our solutions in the future.”
Unique in the industry, La Mundial de Coco processes the coco husk mechanically and entirely under roof. This ensures high product quality, independence from weather conditions, and full control over product parameters that are key for growers in greenhouses worldwide.
La Mundial de Coco founder, Alberto Rosi comments: “La Mundial de Coco is very proud to join the Pindstrup Group – a well-respected player in the industry that we have come to know as a trustworthy company with a dedicated team. I am pleased to know that what we founded 30 years ago will continue to grow in the hands of Pindstrup.”
The acquisition is exciting news for customers of Bulrush Horticulture, who will reap the benefits of a reliable source of coir amidst increased pressure on growing media supply in the market.
Bulrush Horticulture Sales Director, Alex Julien says: “The acquisition of La Mundial de Coco by Pindstrup is a significant step and goes a long way to futureproofing our business. We have been working hard behind the scenes for the past two years, making changes to strengthen our offer, increase capacity and enhance service. The incorporation of a coco products supplier into our parent business is hugely positive for our customers because it actively secures our coir supply and demonstrates that we are thinking long-term. We are extremely excited about what the future holds.”
