Mission & Values

Our worldwide currency is trust

KWS sows the future. This is our first priority goal. We live the community together with our employees as well as with the farmers or trade partners. A respectful and reliable interaction is the foundation.

Our worldwide currency is trust. In everyday life, this means: We meet the farmer in partnership, see him as an equal entrepreneur and pay attention to his knowledge and experience. Our goal is to support them with our own knowledge in the best possible way. We address their requirements and needs in an expert way and provide them with advice eye-to-eye. We maintain and nurture relationships with our customers. This applies equally for contacts with our partners in the breeding sector and for our business and trade partners in agriculture.
