Koppert announces strategic investment from HAL Investments

Koppert is a key provider of sustainable solutions for horticulture and agriculture, specializing in biological pest control, pollination, disease management and plant health. Through an extensive international network of subsidiaries, and multiple production facilities worldwide, Koppert aims to promote healthier, safer, and more productive agricultural practices. This is achieved by offering an integrated system of specialized knowledge and natural, safe solutions that significantly improve crop health, resilience, and overall production.

Supporting growth 
The investment of € 140 million euros in preferred share capital by HAL Investments will primarily serve as funding for the expansion of Koppert's production facilities and working capital to support growth across the globe. This capital injection not only supports the immediate growth plans but also positions Koppert strategically for upcoming investments. Moreover, it will play a pivotal role in executing its in-licensing and mergers and acquisition strategy. This move strengthens the family company's leading market position within the agricultural biological solutions sector, underscoring Koppert’s commitment to remaining a family owned company with a legacy of values and dedication. 

René Koppert, CEO of Koppert: “We're pleased to welcome HAL Investments as both a strategic long term partner and investor. Together, Koppert and HAL share a vision of driving positive change. This was the obvious choice in our search for an investor in order to fuel our growth. This collaboration will accelerate our research and development initiatives, driving the creation of cutting-edge solutions for biological and sustainable agriculture. This creates new opportunities for our customers, giving them better chances for success. HAL shares the same entrepreneurial spirit and long-term commitment that we, as a family company, embody, making them the right partner for us. With HAL's support, we look forward to accelerating our growth and making a positive impact on global agriculture."
