Thinking in generations

"We think in generations, not in quarterly figures."
Jaap Mazereeuw

We believe that operating as an independent family business is the best way of securing our continuity. And guess what? It works! Our company has been healthily growing for many years now. “Being and remaining independent enables us to follow our own course, make sustainable choices, respond quickly to market developments, and continue to invest in innovation, people, and sustainability,” explains Jaap Mazereeuw.”

A family as a business

"Our employees are our organization's beating heart."

In 2023, the year when we celebrated our 85th anniversary, Enza Zaden is a warmhearted family business where everyone that works here feels like part of the family. Visitors often remark on the genuine enthusiasm and pride of our professionals. The key ingredient to this pleasant work environment is respect: for one another and for our living environment. More than 2,000 employees of around forty nationalities work together to develop healthy vegetable varieties. Committed, competent people looking out for each other.
