We are one of the leading growers and seed producers in the world and contribute with our products to the solution of feeding the world population. According to the UN by the end of 2050, we expect more than 9 bilion people on our planet. At the same time the arable land stagnates which leads to a great challenge for farmers around the world. With our mission to develop more resource-saving varieties which are at the same time more stress tolerant, we are part of the future of food and contribute by crops with increasing yield per hektar.

What differenciates us from our main competitors - we are family-oriented, independent and we focus on seeds only.

KWS in Berlin

Today we are already an interantional team of more than 480 from all around the world.
In our Berlin office we bundle all administrative functions and services at KWS. Our team in provides administrative services and the strategic administrative framework for KWS and its entities around the world.

From Berlin we serve the whole KWS world and there couldn't be any better place than Berlin for this kind of purpose. KWS Berlin is like Berlin itself; a cultural melting pot with colleagues coming from all over the world. In fact, more than 70% of all our Berlin colleagues are non-German.
Because of that our business language here in Berlin is English and so, for many of our jobs there's no German required. Often times we need native colleagues for our different department from various countries to support those countries.

If you want to be part of shaping the future of KWS and have fun in creating new processes and structures you are the right one for us. Does it sound interesting to you?
