About Agricon
Circular. Sustainable.Together.
The family
Agricon has been producing bark products since 1997. But Agricon is above all a family business, founded by brothers Guy, Luc and Jef Convens. The diverse talent of inspirer Guy soon leads to new insights. Besides production, a well-oiled distribution of bark products follows.
As Europe's largest producer of bark, we soon set about recycling the co-streams released during the production process. Result? The activities on the Overpelt site expanded quickly and substantially, with ground cover for example. The expansion gives Agricon a contemporary face. A flag under which our entire organisation wants to sail towards positive impact.
In no time, Agricon profiled itself as a leading company in the production and distribution of all kinds of products of natural origin. Meanwhile, customers can rely on us for the complete picture: from a variety of bark products and potting soil, sand and ornamental cuttings to wood fuels and wood pellets during the cold winter months.
Purposeful approach!
Our purposeful approach and strategic location proved to be a perfect match for a variety of clients. What got us there? Today, Agricon has grown into a full-fledged group with branches and loading locations across Europe. Offered Europe-wide, our products are appreciated for their sustainable quality and our innovative ideas for a greener world. We have since taken Guy's ideas with us for 3 generations.

Our vision
What has Agricon also been working on since 1997? With putting nature at the centre, helping to make an impact for a 'greener' world.
And that's not just through natural products or sustainable partnerships. But by weaving our sustainable vision into our operations & into our new location. By recycling waste streams that would otherwise end up in landfills, for example. With the development of new machines & technologies that ensure we roll out our green vision worldwide. This is how we tackle every sustainable challenge.
Agricon put its expertise in circular raw materials and peat replacement potting soils on the map as one of the pioneers in Europe. We do all this by combining strategy, creativity and our green vision. Sustainability in all its facets. This is how we ensure satisfied gardeners who green the environment!
Do we always go the extra mile? Of course. But that is only possible with a team that shares the same family values as the Convens family. Loyal souls who feel involved and help guard our vision in a warm working environment, join us!
