A revolutionary
invention

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, scientists at the TU Dresden in Germany invented a powerful soil enhancer based on modified lignite. Novihum Technologies was founded in 2012 to bring the revolutionary product to the market. Venture capital partners and the European Union financially supported our efforts to develop a continuous production process and bring this revolutionary product to market.
