历史脉络: 从1956年第一袋包装培养土说起
COMPO肥料公司的前身是1956年在德国明斯特 (Münster) 成立的 Holländisch-Deutsche Düngemittel-Gesellschaft Todenhagen & Sprenger KG, 创办人为德国领事 E. H. Sprenger (E. H. 斯普伦格)。这一年, 公司以 COMPO SANA® 为品牌推出了欧洲市场上第一袋以消费者为单位进行小包装销售的花卉培养土, 改变了此前园艺用土只能从苗圃整批买回的传统方式, 也由此奠定了 COMPO 之后近七十年在家用园艺领域的地位。1959 年公司迁到明斯特-汉多夫 (Münster-Handorf) 的工厂园区, 1964 年正式启用报春花 (COMPO-Primel) 作为注册商标, 此后数十年在德语区家用园艺市场一直保持这一形象。1967 年 Salzdetfurth AG 入股 50%, 1971 年 Wintershall 接手 Sprenger 私人持有的另一半股权, 1976 年 Wintershall 把股权转给当时的主要股东巴斯夫 (BASF), 1986 年巴斯夫将 COMPO 全资收购。1999 年 K+S 以 4.2 亿德国马克从巴斯夫手中回购 COMPO, 2011 年又以 2.05 亿欧元的价格把 COMPO 出售给私募基金 Triton, 后者同时把面向专业用户 (B2B) 的肥料业务剥离为 COMPO Expert, 留下的家用园艺业务沿用 COMPO 品牌。2016 年中国的金正大集团 (Kingenta Ecological Engineering Group) 完成对 COMPO 的收购, 2021 年 6 月公司又被出售给英国私募基金 Duke Street LLP, 此后继续以独立品牌运营, 集团合并实体为 COMPO Consumer GmbH。
公司业务概况

History: From the First Packaged Potting Soil in 1956
COMPO traces back to 1956, when the Holländisch-Deutsche Düngemittel-Gesellschaft Todenhagen & Sprenger KG was founded in Münster by Consul E. H. Sprenger. In the same year the company launched COMPO SANA®, the first consumer-sized bagged potting soil in Europe, replacing the previous practice of buying growing media in bulk from nurseries. The COMPO-Primel, registered as a trademark in 1964, has remained the company’s face in the German-speaking market ever since. In 1959 production moved to the current factory site in Münster-Handorf. Salzdetfurth AG acquired a 50% stake in 1967, Wintershall took over Sprenger’s private half in 1971 and passed it on to BASF in 1976, which then completed a full takeover of COMPO in 1986. K+S bought COMPO back from BASF in 1999 for DEM 420 million, sold it to the private-equity investor Triton in 2011 for EUR 205 million; Triton then separated the professional (B2B) fertiliser business into COMPO Expert and kept the consumer business under the COMPO name. China’s Kingenta Ecological Engineering Group acquired COMPO in 2016; in June 2021 the business was sold on to the UK private-equity investor Duke Street LLP. The COMPO Consumer GmbH group has continued to operate as an independent brand since.
Company Profile
Today COMPO GmbH is one of the largest branded suppliers for home gardening in Europe. The head office is still in Münster (North Rhine-Westphalia), the company employs more than 800 people across 25 sites in Europe, and annual revenue in 2025 reached about EUR 400 million. Built on the COMPO SANA® potting-soil range, the business is organised around six core product lines for indoor and outdoor home gardening: Erde & Kompost (potting soils and compost), Dünger & Blattpflege (fertilisers and foliar care), Rasenpflege (lawn care), Pflanzenschutz (plant protection), Ungebetene Gäste (pest control for ants, wasps, rodents and repellent products) and Terrarium (substrate for terraria). Alongside the COMPO main brand, the company runs the Algoflash, Gesal (Switzerland) and Vorox sub-brands to address different customer groups and retail channels.
The COMPO SANA® Range and the Wider Product Portfolio
The COMPO SANA® potting-soil range has been the company’s flagship line since 1956 and is approaching seventy years on the German-speaking market. It covers Universalblumenerde, propagation and herb soil, garden-plant soil, balcony and container soil, special rose soil, special rhododendron and hydrangea soil, raised-bed and compost substrates, as well as peat-free and peat-reduced versions. From 2025 the SANA line has been offered in three parallel formulations: peat-free, peat-reduced and classic; the packaging is made of 100% recycled material and is itself fully recyclable. Beyond SANA, COMPO supplies a full range of fertilisers from universal blends to specialised feeds for roses, rhododendrons and hydrangeas, orchids, lawns, balcony plants and indoor greens, together with a complete pest- and wound-care line that includes products targeted at box-tree moth (Buchsbaumzünsler), slugs, ants, wasps and rodents. In the lawn segment the company offers a full chain from seed to seasonal fertilisers and weed-and-moss treatments. Recent additions include the COMPO BIO AQUA DEPOT controlled-release granules and the COMPO BIO FORTIGO biostimulant, both aimed at home gardeners.
Sustainability and Awards
COMPO has run a group-wide ESG programme focused on peat reduction, recyclable packaging, renewable raw materials and employee responsibility, and positions itself as a Green Leader of the gardening industry. In May 2025 the group achieved EcoVadis Gold with an overall score of 96 out of 100, placing it in the top five per cent of all companies rated worldwide and giving it the Best-in-Class position among global suppliers of its category. In the same month COMPO SANA® was awarded the Marke des Jahrhunderts 2025 by the Zeitverlagsgruppe, the third time the potting-soil range has received this title. In 2025 the company was also named Preissieger (best price-performance winner) by the German consumer-testing foundation Deutsche Stiftung Warentest. On the product side, COMPO uses the torffrei, torfreduziert and Bio labels across its soils, fertilisers and lawn lines so that consumers can choose by need, and the SANA packaging is already produced from 100% recycled material and is itself fully recyclable.
