Paper-based growing concept introduced to Benelux

The team with BCC presents the Dutch company Van Tuijl as their new FiberCell representative for the Dutch and Belgian markets. The Fibercell concept consists of machines for paper-based growing, papers and holders. 

In Van Tuijl, BCC has found it’s ideal partner to distribute and further the FiberCell concept for the Dutch and Belgian markets, says Torsten Karlsson, CEO of BCC. "Van Tuijl has a history of representing Plant Paper on these markets and is well acquainted with the needs and requirements brought forward by growers in this region. The combined know-how and extensive experience from our two companies will serve our clients well." 

BCC has a long history in the field of state-of-the-art machine-based solutions for big scale propagation of forest plants all over the world. Some 10 years back BCC made a strategic decision to add a paper-based growing system to its product portfolio. Extensive research to develop the right paper qualities and to design and build the machines needed to excel in this new propagation system commenced and some years later BCC put FiberCell on the market. A complete concept for paper-based growing was born.

BCC has a market leadership in containerized growing solutions for the forestry sector worldwide. The company has recently developed a new paper-pot growing concept called FiberCell. 

FiberCell is not only used for forestry plants but has been widely introduced with customers growing agri and horti crops all over the planet. "With the FiberCell concept we are targeting also the horti and agri sectors", says Torsten Karlsson.

In the fall of 2021, BCC acquired the right to the paper pot filling machines previously sold by the Danish company Plant Paper AS. "The addition of these machines to the BCC product portfolio and welcoming members of staff from Plant Paper into the BCC family, has strengthened our position and capabilities further."
