We are thinking in generations, not quarters

Since it was founded in 1856, KWS has specialized in breeding, producing and distributing high quality seeds for agriculture. From its beginnings in sugarbeet breeding, KWS has evolved into an innovative, international supplier with a broad portfolio of crops. The company covers the complete value chain of a modern seed producer that focuses on sustainable agriculture.

Our business model, the long-term orientation and our characterization as a family-owned business make KWS a unique investment: KWS is the only listed “pure-play” seed company of the Western world.
