Alzchem is a chemicals group based in Trostberg in Germany that develops specialty products for several industries. The group reports its business in segments that include Specialty Chemicals, Basics & Intermediates and Custom Manufacturing. Agriculture is one of its markets rather than its whole business, and its farm offering spans three distinct areas: crop nutrition, plant growth regulation and animal nutrition, each served by its own product with its own purpose.
Perlka is a calcium cyanamide fertiliser that supplies nitrogen and calcium. Its nitrogen reaches the plant over a longer period, and it also improves the lime balance of the soil. It is used in cereals, potatoes, maize, rapeseed, beet and sunflowers, and in vegetables such as brassicas, leeks, lettuce, asparagus and onions. Dormex is a plant growth regulator for orchards and vineyards in markets where it is authorised, and Creamino is a feed additive associated with creatine metabolism.
Size of the business
Alzchem Group revenue was EUR 562.1 million in 2025, covering the whole group including its non-agricultural chemicals. The group runs five production locations: four in Germany and one in Sweden.
Are Perlka and Creamino both fertilisers?
No. Perlka is a fertiliser, while Creamino is a feed additive for animal nutrition.
Can Perlka always be applied immediately before sowing?
Not always. Timing depends on the product guidance, the crop and soil conditions, and a waiting period between application and sowing may be needed.
