GERMIFLOR®: a company where humanity drives excellence
Since our establishment in 1885, we have always placed human values at the core of our company. Our employees and partners are crucial pillars of our success, and we nurture relationships based on trust, respect, and excellence. Rooted in the Barthès-Lautier family philosophy, this commitment extends to employee well-being, talent development, and forging strong partnerships for sustainable agriculture.
A family heritage at the heart of our commitment
For five generations, we have upheld a tradition of excellence in fertilization. Through this familial continuity, we have instilled essential values such as humility, transparency, and rigor. Today, under the leadership of siblings Marie and Olivier Barthès, we leverage this heritage to ensure a smooth transition that remains faithful to our founding principles.
A multigenerational and flourishing team
We take pride in daily integrating three generations of employees, from grandparents to grandchildren, each contributing their expertise and enriching our story. This generational diversity fosters exchange of experiences, innovation, and maintains a strong corporate culture.
We are dedicated to creating a healthy and fulfilling work environment where everyone can thrive both professionally and personally. Throughout the year, we organize moments of sharing and conviviality that strengthen our family spirit and cohesion.
Talent development and professional growth
Our employees are our most valuable asset. Therefore, we pay special attention to recruiting young talents and supporting their professional development. We invest in continuous training and skill development to empower each individual to progress and thrive within our company.
This approach enables us to cultivate a dynamic, competent team aligned with our primary goal: delivering exceptional fertilizers.
Ethical commitment and corporate social responsibility
Our responsibility extends beyond product quality. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and prioritizing safety and quality of life at work.
In a comprehensive approach to corporate social responsibility, we strive to balance employee well-being with environmental stewardship. Over 90% of our production is certified Organic Agriculture, and all our raw materials are noble, ensuring purity and agronomic effectiveness while minimizing our ecological footprint.
Innovation at the core of our approach
Innovation has always been a driving force at GERMIFLOR®. Led by the Barthès-Lautier family and our entire team, it embodies our continuous effort to push the boundaries of natural fertilization. This innovative spirit enables us to design high-performance, environmentally-friendly solutions that meet the needs of farmers and soils alike.
Recently, this innovation momentum resulted in the patent for Mazor®, a vegetal compost matured for seven months, and its unique manufacturing process, Cronops®. This achievement is a testament to years of research and expertise.
Strong partnerships for sustainable agriculture
We maintain close relationships with our partners, including farmers, distributors, and agricultural stakeholders. Built on trust and transparency, these collaborations enable us to continually improve and offer solutions tailored to specific crop and soil needs.
Our partners consistently praise the quality of our products, our impeccable service, and the proximity we maintain with them. This synergy empowers us to innovate and effectively address the challenges of modern, high-performing, environmentally-responsible agriculture.
