The idea of Secalflor was born in 1994 in Rheinsberg, north of Berlin. Originally developed only for erosion control, accompanying field trials quickly showed the unique property of the base material to store water and the accompanying improvement of growing conditions.
After a series of application trials, a wide variety of product components and the optimisation of the manufacturing process, today's Secalflor panels were created under the leadership of Dietmar Schmetsdorf.
