In 1997, Prof. Dr. Ralf-Udo Ehlers, Dr. Arne Peters, and Tillmann Frank started their joint mission to produce entomopathogenic nematodes for biological pest control on large-scale. What started as a spin-off of a university research project has grown into an internationally successful company with over 70 employees. The three partners share the vision of sustainably reducing the global use of chemical pesticides by providing biological alternatives. To achieve this, it is necessary to offer biological products in large quantities and at competitive prices. For this reason, e-nema GmbH has always invested many resources in research and the expansion of production capacities and has meanwhile risen to become the largest producer of entomopathogenic nematodes worldwide.
To celebrate its 25th anniversary, e-nema has modernized its brand identity and corporate website. An important step to communicate the dynamic growth and the expertise gained over the years in the field of biological crop protection in an appealing way to the outside world.

Sales Manager and mushroom expert Ulrich Tiemann is optimistic about the future after a year of difficult general conditions:
"We have already achieved a lot in the past years, but the road towards sustainable agriculture and food production is still very long. The mushroom market is an absolute positive example for us. Through the intelligent use of resources and the use of nematodes to control sciarids and phorids, many people are already being supplied with healthy, high-quality, and sustainable mushroom products. And we are very proud to play our part in this. We assume that awareness will also change more and more in many other plant cultures in the future, or that the change is already in full swing."

Dear All!

My name is Ulrich Tiemann and since April this year I started working for e-nema. I received a very cordial welcome, plus a lot of support and training from the e-nema team.

It is great working here. Having a background in agriculture, international food trading and sales, I am working myself into the mushroom industry now. I do look forward to getting to know you. Through my work, I aim to support you and add value to the mushroom industry with the help of entomopathogenic nematodes, which e-nema produces at an industrial scale.

Hope meeting you soon!

The crisis teaches us to appreciate what seems to be taken for granted again and to reflect on a vital force:

TRUST
Without trust in ourselves and others, our actions would be blocked by constant safeguarding, doubting and weighing up. Fear would paralyze us. “We should fear nothing more than fear itself”. With these words Franklin D. Roosewelt sowed new confidence 90 years ago and proclaimed the "New Deal" in the USA.
The “New Green Deal” in Europe is now supposed to trigger a similar mood of optimism.

The growing importance of biological crop protection is a sign of this optimistic mood and, thanks to the mutual trust in our customers, has allowed our company to continue to grow. We were able to expand our production capacities, welcome new employees and initiate further construction projects.
We would like to thank the mushroom producers for the joint work on the transformation towards a sustainable, organic economy and wish you and your families a peaceful, reflective holiday.

Location

e-nema GmbH produces useful nematodes for biological crop protection.
Our location is in the far north of Germany, where the nematodes are produced and shipped worldwide.

Markets

Our main sales markets are currently in European countries such as Germany, Benelux, Poland, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Romania as well as in North America. Eastern Europe and other countries such as Hungary, France, Italy, Spain and Georgia are becoming increasingly important. But Australia, New Zealand and Africa are also looking for biological alternatives to chemical crop protection and are increasingly using our nematodes.

Customers

Our customer portfolio ranges from major global customers to medium-sized companies and end customers. This includes professional users from agriculture, fruit and horticulture as well as private users from the home and garden area. We rely on close cooperation with our strong and well-networked partners.
The quality of our offered products should meet their requirements and enable them to operate profitably and sustainably. We maintain close contact with our partners and customers and are interested in long-term cooperation.
We also have customers in the global mushroom industry who value organic crop protection. Consumers are increasingly paying attention to residue-free goods and more and more chemical agents are losing their effectiveness or are being banned by the EU.
We offer the worldwide mushroom industry a successful biological solution to the problem of fungus gnat control in mushroom cultivation.
Our product nemycel® is already being used very successfully in professional mushroom cultivation. It contains the insect-pathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae, a naturally occurring nematode that has specialized in the larvae of sciarid gnats, among other things.

In order to continue to serve our partners and customers smoothly in the future and to ensure a seamless supply, we are currently investing in modern production facilities and expanded storage capacities. We look forward continuing our support to mushroom growers around the world as a competent partner with scientific expertise.

The nematodes are produced in large bioreactors and packaged for worldwide shipping after harvest.
