Ferro was founded in the early 1990s as a manufacturer of concentrated fertiliser solutions for the horticulture sector. Over the years, Ferro has expanded its activities to include nutrient solutions for the private sector too. Local retailers stock smaller packs of these solutions for home growers. Over the last 20 years, Ferro has grown, both in terms of its field of activity and geographically, and now supplies its products beyond the borders of its home territory of the Netherlands to countries including Germany, Great Britain, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, France, Bulgaria, Slovenia and various US states.
