About Aminocore

Discover Aminocore, a Dutch developer of MetaCore™ Technology helping formulators and distributors improve crop nutrition, resilience and input efficiency.

Our mission

Modern agriculture demands greater efficiency.

Modern agriculture faces increasing regulatory, environmental and financial pressures. Growers are expected to produce more, improve quality and reduce environmental impact, while managing rising input costs and increasingly challenging growing conditions.

At Aminocore, we believe the answer lies in making agricultural inputs work harder and helping crops perform better under stress.

We support fertilizer and biostimulant formulators with technologies designed to increase the biological efficacy and added value of their formulations. At the same time, we work with agricultural input distributors to bring differentiated, sustainable solutions to market that address some of growers’ biggest challenges, from nutrient efficiency and crop performance to heat, drought and salinity stress.

Our goal

Our goal is to help make agriculture more efficient, resilient and sustainable by increasing the value of every input applied to the crop. Through our technologies and solutions, we aim to help formulators develop more effective products, enable distributors to offer differentiated solutions, and ultimately help growers achieve better crop performance with fewer resources and greater return on investment.

Why Aminocore?

Aminocore’s proprietary MetaCore™ Technology combines biologically active free L-amino acids, bioactive peptides and naturally occurring metabolites in a highly active biological complex. Our gentle enzymatic hydrolysis process preserves these valuable compounds while minimizing unwanted by-products commonly associated with harsh chemical hydrolysis.

The result is more than an amino acid product. MetaCore™ Technology works at remarkably low application rates to activate plant metabolism, improve nutrient uptake and utilization and strengthen crop resilience under stress, giving formulators and distributors a highly efficient and differentiated technology for modern crop production.

Better input efficiency. Stronger crops. Greater value throughout the agricultural chain.

What we stand for

Core values

  • Quality

    Aminocore’s products are of unmatched high quality and add valuable solutions to our customers’ production processes. Thanks to our unprecedented effectiveness with dosages as low as 150 mL per hectare you will return your investment faster.

  • Reliability

    As an exclusive and independent producer with direct connections to the source of our raw materials, we can guarantee a steady flow of products with delivery as agreed upon. This makes us a reliable partner to work with.

  • Sustainability

    We care for the environment and natural resources. Our solutions are 100% natural and contain no synthetic minerals or additives. A comforting thought, when using Aminocore products for soil and foliar applications.

    • Traceability: The raw materials we use are sourced directly from established international manufacturers with years of experience in producing for pharma, food, feed and fertilizer markets.
    • Circularity: The ingredients for our products originate from residual streams that would otherwise be classified as waste.
  • Safety

    Aminocore guarantees its products are free of contamination, thanks to strict hygiene protocols both at the source and during our production. We safeguard our quality standards by using only raw materials that have been produced in full compliance with HACCP & ISO and under certification of the Dutch Food Authority (VWA).

In addition, our solutions are produced in conformity with EU Directives 834/2007 & 889/2008, USDA/NOP and JAS (Japan) input regulations and are therefore permitted for ecological growing. The Aminocore CUC license number is: CU 846950.
