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

At Enza Zaden, we believe that operating as an independent family business is the best way to secure our continuity and growth. And guess what? It works. We've been growing healthily for many years, expanding our global footprint and developing new innovations in vegetable breeding. “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.”
"Our employees are our organization's beating heart."
In 2023, as we proudly celebrated our 85th anniversary, we reflected on what truly makes Enza Zaden special: our people. We’re more than a leading vegetable breeding company — we’re a warm-hearted family business where everyone feels like part of the family. Visitors often notice the genuine enthusiasm, pride, and team spirit that define our workplace. The secret ingredient? Respect — for each other, for our crops, and for the environment. Today, more than 2,000 colleagues from over forty nationalities collaborate worldwide to develop healthy, high-quality vegetable varieties. We’re more than a company — we’re a family of passionate people, supporting each other and growing a healthier future together.
