About Us
Harnessing the Promise of Nature
Galuku harnesses the potential of coconut husk (coir) to develop high quality, eco-friendly products for the horticulture industry.
Providing a Clean, Green Growing Medium
Using the unique resources of the humble coconut, Galuku provides solutions for the everyday needs of businesses and consumers around the world.
We research, design and develop solutions that are cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The Galuku Group makes products that can be used to grow food, care for pets and clean up oil spills – all made from the often wasted coconut husk. Since opening our Sydney office in 1993, Galuku has grown rapidly to become a global leader in coir-based products and continues to uncover innovative ways to use the distinct potential of coir.
Meeting the Food Needs of the Future
Our coir substrates provide the perfect base for above-ground, protected cultivation and hydroponic growing.
