Expansion continues in Einbeck: Construction work for the new building has started

The property earmarked for the expansion is located in the northeastern area of the company’s premises on Otto-Hahn-Str. across from the Otto-Hahn park.
Here, KWS will erect a building for processing and storing breeding material. This “treasure chamber” of plant breeding work will store the seeds of many different plants with a total of around 1.3 million different lots of beet, oil and catch crop seed to be stored there in the future. These seeds will form the basis for multiyear development of high-performance and resistant varieties for agriculture. The new facility will also house the processing work of seed for official variety trials and seed propagation. “The continuous growth of KWS’s business can also be seen at our Einbeck location,” explains KWS Executive Board Spokesperson Hagen Duenbostel. “Building the facility will enable us to expand the capacities of a core component of our product development.” More than 100 employees will work in the building.

Implementing the project will include focusing special attention on sustainability and energy efficiency: This approach to construction includes the plan to use climate-friendly building materials and to install photovoltaic and heat-recovery systems. Construction work has now started with completion of the building project targeted for mid of 2024.
