FERTIL has been manufacturing the FERTILPOT for nearly 60 years. Come and discover a 100% Vosges know-how and an old cardboard factory that has succeeded in its reconversion.

It is the story of a cardboard factory located in the heart of the Vosges that, a few decades ago, decided to convert to... horticulture!
Goodbye cardboard suitcases, hello wooden fiber growing pots!
Original conversion and unique know-how. The buildings and machines of the time are still used today. They have undergone some changes for their new use, but they still work.

FERTIL is a factory manufacturing horticultural pots made of wood fibres, 100% natural and biodegradable. A former paperboard factory at the beginning of the 20th century, the company converted almost 60 years ago to supply horticultural products. Its flagship product, FERTILPOT, is a root-piercing growing pot that is planted with the plant. No more plastic jars that end up in the trash!
