Our Story

How can we harness the power of nature in modern agri- and horticulture?

For over 40 years, Pireco founder Wim van Garderen has been working on this question. During these years, through much research and development work, Wim has developed the products we now market as Pireco products. Products of which we are proud to say they are an important part in modern integrated cultivation systems.

Our products consist of a diverse range of herbal- and plant extracts. Because of this, our products are rich in natural trace and microelements from these herbal and plant extracts. And also contain important elements that support the crop for strong and vital crops.

Through intensive research in a wide range of crops and applications, Pireco has grown from pioneer to expert in the field of solutions with plant and herbal extracts in organic and integrated cultivation systems. It is especially in these growing systems that our products offer the most added value. By focusing on the international market, we can best respond to the growing need for cultivationsolutions with biostimulants. With expetions of the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium, internationally our products are distributed by our mother company Diachem Group with the best possible support.

Since 2017, Pireco has been completely owned by the Diachem Group. Diachem has been active in the production and distribution of chemical plant protection products since the mid-20th century. Nowadays, the third generation of the Dubbini family is preparing the company for the future by combining fertilisers, biostimulants and traditional crop protection products in integrated solutions (ICM).
