The idea of Secalflor was born in Rheinsberg, north of Berlin, in 1994. Originally developed solely for erosion control, accompanying field trials quickly revealed the unique water storage properties of the base material and the resulting improvement in growing conditions.
After a series of application tests, a wide variety of product components and the optimization of the production process, today's Secalflor panels were created under the leadership of Dietmar Schmetsdorf.
