“The early extension until the end of 2032 underscores the core values of the company,” emphasizes Supervisory Board Chairman Dr. Hagen Duenbostel. “During his time on the Executive Board, Felix Büchting has made a significant contribution to the strategic development of the company – whether through the entry into and expansion of the vegetable seed business, the further development of our corporate strategy or the realignment of our portfolio. These strategic decisions give us a strong basis for the coming years.”
KWS is and will remain a family company that acts with foresight to secure its independence and innovative strength in the long term. With KWS celebrating its 170th anniversary this year, the contract extension also represents the combination of tradition and future orientation that is deeply rooted in the company.
Dr. Felix Büchting is a member of the seventh generation of the KWS founding family. He has been a member of the Executive Board since 2019 and has served as CEO since 2023.
