We believe in a better way to keep soil healthy. We know that if we can restore health to our soils, we are restoring our soils to health. In less than 20 years, SoilSteam has evolved from a hobby project devised to satisfy the curiosity of three Norwegian farmers, into the professional technology company it is today. We are still a small Norwegian company, but we know we can contribute to make the world a better place.

The demonstration that we did in both Norway and Germany during the summer of 2017 showed that we still had some way to go, but in the same time we were capable of getting the steam deep enough in the soil and faster and more effective than anyone else.
Soilprep400 is a big machine and we have already seen that it probably is too big (Even the people which came from USA to watch our equipment in Germany thought it was too small !!).
