work with.

Silphium combines agriculture with industry, energy crops with packaging, ideas with solutions. Together with well-established partners, OutNature develops innovative fiber and paper products for trade and industry.

Energiepark Hahnennest

Four farmers from the village of Hahnennest in Baden-Württemberg shared a vision: shaping sustainable agriculture. In 2011, they formed Energiepark Hahnennest GmbH & Co. KG and built a biogas plant. The family-run farms themselves provide the raw material for the plant, with the digestate from the biogas process then spread on the fields as a valuable fertilizer.

Today, the company employs a total of 25 people in addition to managing directors Simon Rauch and Thomas Metzler and partners Edwin König and Felix Kaltenbach.
