Postsaver Welcomes Peter Müller as a New Partner in the Fruit Growing Sector

Industry heralds cost effective, green alternative to recently banned Creosote

Postsaver is proud to announce its partnership with Peter Müller, an established distributor specialising in solutions for the fruit farming sector.

Peter Müller’s expertise and commitment to the agricultural industry position them as an ideal partner to bring Postsaver’s innovative timber protection technology to orchards across Belgium and neighbouring countries.

Since the 2023 EU ban on creosote for use in agriculture, fruit growers have faced significant challenges in sourcing durable wooden stakes for their orchards, with concrete alternatives proving costly, offering less durability, and poor environmental credentials. Peter Müller is now giving the fruit growing sector a ground-breaking alternative: a copper-salt treated stake combined with a protective Postsaver barrier wrap that guarantees a lifespan of 20 years. This innovation is set to revolutionise orchard management by providing a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to existing options.

Belgium’s fruit farming industry spans approximately 17,000 hectares, with pears, apples, and cherries as the primary crops. Historically, growers relied on creosote-treated stakes, which are no longer available. Peter Müller, already well-established in this sector, will now focus on offering Postsaver protected stakes as a reliable and environmentally friendly solution for fruit growers.

“We’re thrilled to have Peter Müller join our mission to sustainably extend the lifespan of timber products.” said Richard George, Postsaver’s CEO. “Their deep understanding of the fruit farming sector and established relationships with distributors and resellers make them an invaluable partner in expanding our reach.”

Pieter Nijskens of Peter Müller added, “We’ve already had some overwhelmingly positive feedback to the product and our first order, so we’re confident that the fruit growing sector will respond very well to this durable and cost efficient offering. The 20-year guarantee offered by Postsaver protected stakes is a standout feature, providing peace of mind and a clear advantage over other products on the market.”

Peter Müller’s collaboration with Postsaver is a significant step forward in meeting the needs of fruit growers transitioning to new, sustainable materials. With their support, Postsaver aims to become the go-to solution for orchard management across Belgium and neighbouring regions.

Postsaver rot protectors are the long-life, non-toxic post protection solution, ideal for use in environmentally sensitive areas where the highest standards are required.
