EWH BioProduction ApS

EWH BioProduction ApS is a Danish company that produces and sells beneficial organisms for biological control of pests and other harmful organisms in greenhouses, tunnels and orchards. According to its official website, it operates Scandinavia's largest production of beneficial organisms for biological pest control. The company sells to both professional growers and private customers, and it also advises on cultivation systems that focus on biological control of insect pests and harmful fungal diseases. In addition to beneficial insects and mites, it offers alternative products that strengthen plants and, unlike many pesticides, do not have a negative effect on naturally occurring beneficial organisms or on the beneficial organisms actively used in crops. The company traces its roots to 1996, when biologist Erik Wermund Hansen founded a private company originally called BioConsulting. The current entity, EWH BioProduction ApS, began its activities in 2006 based on that original company. Its first products were the predatory mite Neoseiulus cucumeris, the soil-dwelling predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus and the predatory bug Orius majusculus. Over time the product assortment has expanded to include more than seven species of predatory mites, three species of predatory bugs, eight species of parasitoids, bumble bee pollinators, sticky traps and pheromone traps. EWH BioProduction positions itself around organic and alternative production methods, stating that residues of pesticides and other chemicals should be avoided and that organic and other alternative production should be promoted for the benefit of people and the environment. The company is a member of IBMA and IOBC, was a Gazelle recipient in 2015, and supports Kræftens Bekæmpelse (the Danish Cancer Society). It has also been expanding physically: in 2024 it celebrated the status of construction of a new building, with the roof finished and a traditional Danish "rejsegilde" (topping-out ceremony) held. The company's product catalogue includes biological control agents such as Encarsia formosa (Bioform), Aphidius colemani (Biomani), Aphidius ervi (Bioervi), Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Biomil), Typhlodromips swirskii (Amblyseius swirskii), Amblyseius cucumeris (Biocumeris) and slow-release sachets with predatory mites, as well as the bumble bee Bombus terrestris (Biobum) for pollination. It also supplies sticky traps and pheromone traps. Products are sold in various pack sizes and formulations, including bottles, tubes, bags and sachets, catering to different crop and grower needs. EWH BioProduction remains a private company. Its website is available in English and Danish, and it maintains contact channels including email and telephone. The company continues to participate in industry events, such as the yearly strawberry conference in Jutland and the Fruit Attraction exhibition in Madrid through its partner Agrobio.
