Demján Sándor 1+1 SME Investment Stimulus Program

Technological Development at OS Pelso Kft.'s Balatonlelle Plant

OS Pelso Kft. has received a non-refundable grant of HUF 117,648,312 with 50% intensity under the Demján Sándor 1+1 SME Investment Stimulus Program, based on the decision of the Ministry of National Economy. The development is implemented with the contribution of the Hungarian Economic Development Agency (MGFÜ) at the site located in the outskirts of Balatonlelle, Somogy County, parcel no. 097/10

Background and Objectives of the Project

The aim of the grant is to further enhance the technological level of OS Pelso Ltd. and to improve energy and resource efficiency. The project contributes to strengthening the company's position as a key player in organic material processing and regenerative soil management in Hungary.

Founded in 2000, OS Pelso Ltd. has long been producing compost and soil-enriching products of various nutrient values using innovative methods and materials such as green waste and sewage sludge. With an annual processing capacity of approximately 13,000 tonnes, it is one of Hungary's largest compost producers. The products are successfully used both in conventional and regenerative farming, and are also in demand in horticulture, ornamental plant and fruit production. The current investment aims to improve compost quality while increasing energy efficiency and digitalisation.

Project Description
