Dear readers,

Ready for even more freshness? On October 1, Pop Vriend Seeds (PV) will become KWS Vegetables and thus a full member of our KWS family in name, too. But behind a new look lies, above all, a strategic decision and long-term planning – Simon Walter, Head of BU Vegetables, explains the background to this and our goals for the vegetable business. The change is also obvious visually – dive in with us into the colorful world of the first KWS PopFest.

Kim van Gemerden-Sollie explains what the new structure means for personal growth. Thanks to new opportunities KWS offers, she moved to our station in Almería in southern Spain to work on the latest tomato hybrids.

Do you already know the “Energy Team”? Our colleagues provide support for sustainable energy concepts and projects at KWS’ locations worldwide, from photovoltaics to a charging infrastructure for e-cars.
