Anuvia Plant Nutrients opens first production facility

Anuvia Plant Nutrients, a new plant nutrient company, recently opened a fertilizer production facility in Zellwood, Fla.

The $98 million plant began production in April and has the capacity to produce more than 200 tons of product daily. Anuvia’s products include GreenTRX for the turf industry and SymTRX for the agricultural sector.

“The Grand Opening signals a new era of organic material utilization and plant nutrient technology,” says Anuvia CEO Amy Yoder. “Our technology is innovative, unique and sustainable.”

The technology, called Organic MaTRX, is a slow-release delivery system that mimics what happens with organic matter in soil, and doesn’t use current coating technology utilized by other slow-release products, according to Anuvia.

“Anuvia homogenous multi-nutrient products fit into any plant nutrient program.  They provide efficient nutrient delivery and place 16 percent organic matter back into the soil, which contributes to soil health,” says Hugh MacGillivray, Anuvia’s executive vice president of Marketing and Business Development.

Anuvia products and its process represent a model for the circular economy: efficiently using organic resources creating products of economic value, according to a press release from the company. The Zellwood facility is the first site for Anuvia’s production facilities. Plans are underway to build additional capacity at the Zellwood facility, and the company is investigating other locations.
