• Seed for vining and protein peas

The site also houses sales and marketing, R&D activities and analytical laboratories. In total, around 140 people are employed at Holeby.

History

The company dates back to 1920. The Danish Sugar Factories - today Danisco Sugar - set up Danisco Seed in order to secure the supply of sugar beet seed and improve the sugar yield. Since then, we have developed into an international company with subsidiaries and sales offices across Europe.
