Supporting Pindstrup's green transition
Driven by the increasing global demand for growing media, Pindstrup continues to expand and diversify its raw-material foundation. Acquiring La Mundial de Coco – a supplier of renewable coco fibre and coco pith – is a natural next step in Pindstrup's strategy for growth and in its commitment to supplying more sustainable solutions to its customers.
Pindstrup is among the industry leaders driving the development of more sustainable growing media solutions. The acquisition of La Mundial de Coco, combined with ongoing expansions in wood fibre production, enables new opportunities within growing media based on renewable and circular raw materials. René Gjerding, CEO of Pindstrup, says:
"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."

Further developing a unique set-up
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. René Gjerding adds: "La Mundial de Coco processes its products in safe and well-controlled conditions – the best set-up we have seen, and one that bears evidence of a strong technological foundation as well as standards and values that are fully aligned with those of Pindstrup. With the existing plant as our base, we are very committed to investing in and further developing La Mundial de Coco."
Alberto Rosi, founder of La Mundial de Coco, says: "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."
Completed less than five months after the acquisition of Latvia-based Compaqpeat, the investment in La Mundial de Coco stresses Pindstrup's determination to strengthen its global operations and secure the resources needed to meet growing market demand with more sustainable solutions.
