Enza Zaden Organization

Enza Zaden was established in 1938 by Jacob Mazereeuw under the name of ‘De Enkhuizer Zaadhandel’. His mission then was to sell as many seeds as possible. This soon turned out to be a golden decision, and expansion in both activities and personnel quickly followed. In 1959, Piet Mazereeuw continued the company's mission and added numerous plant breeding programmes to the activities. Ever since, our vegetable varieties are fully tuned to the specific demands of growers worldwide.

With subsidiaries in 14 countries, Enza Zaden is well-represented around the world. Read more about our subsidiaries, their working methods, the crops they specialize in and how they contribute to the success of Enza Zaden.

Our key to success is entrepreneurship, expertise and creativity. This means continuous investments. Investing in know-how and in the latest technologies to continue developing vegetable varieties that stand out in reliability and quality, wherever in the world.

High quality vegetable seed, the start of every successful cultivation. Healthy seed, pure and true to type, reliable, easy to sow, and with a perfect germination capacity. That is exactly what the grower asks for, the whole year through! Highly advanced techniques ensure production and distribution of this top quality seed by our Seed Operations department.

Thanks to our activities worldwide, supported by marketing and sales, we know exactly what the current market asks for. For example, we are well informed of all the latest developments on the local markets and we give on-site advice wherever in the world. Together with R&D, Marketing and Sales constitute a strong, professional team totally familiar with the wishes of the local grower. And that shows in the varieties we develop.
