Symborg’s plant is located in Alhama de Murcia (Region of Murcia, Spain) on a 40,000 m2 总投资2800万欧元的工业用地。
跨国公司 星堡 通过新工厂的开业和 Balius 的推出，加强了其作为生物技术解决方案制造商的作用，Balius 是 Symborg 设计和生产的基于氨基酸的新型生物刺激剂。 Balius 由纯 α-角蛋白组成，是 100% 可持续发展的，与所有类型的农业兼容，包括传统和有机农业。
Lydia Valentín, triple Olympic weightlifting medalist, and Spanish, European and World champion, helped promote the launch of Balius and the opening of Symborg’s new manufacturing plant.
启动活动于 3 月 25 日以数字方式举行，围绕“农民和精英运动员之间有什么联系？”这一问题展开。回答这个问题的人是 Lydia Valentín，三届奥运会举重奖牌获得者，西班牙、欧洲和世界冠军。
The Spanish athlete participated in the event, highlighting that “what elite athletes and growers have in common is perseverance, dedication and the ability to overcome setbacks. A trophy can be a medal and a trophy can also be a good harvest. But, in the end, the real reward is to feel proud of what you do”. Likewise, according to Valentín, “Real life is the day-to-day. The sweat. The early mornings. Always pushing forward despite the fatigue. That dedication makes the difference. We athletes have it and farmers have it too”.
The attendants were able to take a virtual tour of Symborg’s new hydrolysis plant, designed for the manufacturing of sustainable products for agriculture, such as biofertilizers, biostimulants and biocontrol. The first product produced in this plant is Balius, pure α-keratin that provides an extra dose of energy at times when the crop needs it most. “Balius is a new source of energy to unleash the potential of crops, for example, in moments of maximum nutritional demand or during periods of abiotic stress of the crop,” declares Jesús Juárez, founding partner and CEO of Symborg.
Balius biostimulant provides crops with an energy boost with immediate absorption and long-acting effect thanks to a careful balance of free amino acids and short and long chain peptides. This contributes to a greater stimulation of the plant’s physiological and cellular processes, as well as to a more balanced nutrition. As a result, this new solution increases fruit production through better sprouting, flowering, fruit setting and retention of the fruits. It also makes the crop more resistant to stress conditions, increasing its tolerance to adverse conditions such as high temperatures, frost, drought, waterlogging, salinity, transplanting, pruning or osmotic imbalances.
Thanks to its exclusive manufacturing process, based on a double biological hydrolysis, Balius is a nutritionally complete product, a source of organic nitrogen, a stable, homogeneous and free of impurities solution. ”We emphasize the qualities of complete, stable and homogeneous, because these are great added values for growers that are not easy to find in hydrolysis products,” Juarez points out.
Symborg’s plant is located in Alhama de Murcia (Region of Murcia, Spain) on a 40,000 m2 总投资2800万欧元的工业用地。水解工厂按照循环经济、零废物和能源效率措施设计，将避免排放约 100 吨二氧化碳2 每年进入大气层。
“The new factory allows us to achieve the 360 model we have always pursued. Symborg’s purpose is to help in the transformation of the current agronomic model. We were born innovative and sustainable, and, thanks to this new investment, we can apply these principles also in manufacturing,” concludes Juárez.
