About us
After many years of experience in agriculture with plant aids, Maria, along with her daughter Sara, decided in 2017 to found Intact in the heart of the Alps.
Our vision: to bring back joy in agriculture in a solution-oriented way.
So, our residue-free plant aids were created, which have quickly proven themselves viable in the different crops. They have shown to bring new energy, to significantly strengthen to plant health, and to make the plants less susceptible to fungal diseases and pests. This not only enhanced quality but also yield. Today, our vision has become reality; we provide tangible added value to numerous farmers and are constantly growing. In 2023, Luca, Maria's son, also joined the company and leads the business beside her.
Our headquarter is located at Zwickmaierhof in Maia Bassa, Meran. This idyllic location not only offers an inspiring environment for our work but also reflects our connection to agriculture. From here, we coordinate all aspects of our business operations, from product development to customer service. Our closeness to nature inspires us to develop innovative solutions and make products that bring you added value.

Quality that
makes a difference.
Example with tomatoes:
For ripe tomatoes, the rule is: the higher the sugar-acid ratio, the sweeter the tomato, and the sweeter the tomato, the better the taste. The unit of measurement is the Brix-degree, which is measured with a refractometer. It expresses the content of soluble solids in the juice, particularly sugars, acids, aldehydes, ketones, and vitamins. The higher the measurement, the higher the quality.
Example in winegrowing:
Winegrowing embraces different production areas, which differ in terms of latitude, altitude, soil classification and cultivars.
Bringing together the natural components of the production environment and all those physical and chemical processes, with the ability to create a delicate balance between them, allowing the production of specific wines, with unique characteristics linked to their terroir. Enhancing the terroir, character and uniqueness of the wine.
Consumers are becoming more and more aware about this correlation between nutrition and health, making conscious choices to opt for nutritious foods that contribute to their well-being. For food producers, this means to focus on cultivating quality.
Nutraceuticals is the discipline that focuses on studying the active principles present in foods and their beneficial effects on health. Foods with high nutraceutical values are those that, in addition to providing more energy and nutrients, offer specific health benefits. These foods are rich in essential nutrients that play vital roles in our bodies.
Examples of nutraceuticals include: •Antioxidants: such as vitamin C and lycopene •Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: like omega-3 and omega-6 •Vitamins: such as vitamin D •Enzymes: playing key roles in metabolic processes. In summary, foods with high nutraceutical values serve as a bridge between nutrition and health, offering a way to optimize well-being through mindful dietary choices.
