- The French family company SBM's subsidiary SBM Life Science, which is present in 31 countries in the field of innovative and responsible solutions and services for plants, gardens, and living environments, will be Biogents new partner from January 2022 onwards
- With an exclusive retail sales agreement covering all of Europe, Biogents will also further open up the Scandinavian region as well as other markets and digital marketplaces
- SPG will continue to manage the distribution of Biogents solutions in France
Regensburg, Germany, December 08, 2021 - Biogents, an innovative company on the forefront of mosquito trap development and mosquito research, and SBM Life Science, one of the global leaders in the Home and Garden sector, have signed an exclusive retail sales agreement covering all of Europe
This collaboration can be seen as another major milestone in Biogents growth and continues the success story of the last few years. The partnership with SBM offers the opportunity to accelerate growth in the EU retail business through an established, successful distribution partner with an extensive European network.
With SBM having recently acquired SPG (Biogents distributor in France) this deal is a natural extension of that relationship and offers the opportunity to replicate the success of the French market across the whole of Europe.
The agreement allows Biogents to focus on its core competencies of R&D, innovation, and product development to deliver the next generation of products for both the retail and professional markets. It also provides a basis for continued expansion in the professional market and further geographic areas.

“After working successfully with SPG in the French market over the last few years, we are delighted to continue our relationship and the development of a much larger market throughout the EU with SBM. We believe this cooperation will deliver Biogents’ products to a broader customer base faster than would otherwise have been possible”, explained Martin Geier, Managing Director of Biogents AG.
Alexandre Simmler, Managing Director of SBM Life Science, stated, “Biogents was created in 2002 by two visionaries who wanted to make a positive change in the world. At SBM, we share that same vision and are thrilled to offer Biogents’ products to a wider audience in Europe. That includes our retailers, whose market is growing, and our consumers, whose demands are constantly increasing”.
