In the 2000's, scientists at the TU Dresden in Germany invented a revolutionary natural soil enhancer based on lignite. In 2012 Novihum Technologies was founded to bring this great product to the market.

With the help of venture capital partners, the European Union, and an international team of soil, plant, and production experts, NovihumTechnologies built its first production plant in Dortmund, Germany to produce NOVIHUM on an industrial scale in 2016.
Novihum Technologies has about 30 employees and is still growing. They successfully serve customers in Europe, North America and elsewhere.
