Seed meets Technology open day for our own employees
This year a group of employees from our production facility in Aalten had the opportunity to visit Seed meets Technology. The Germains team also had the opportunity to visit various Industry Open Days which are hosted across the week alongside the main event. These visits provided a great opportunity for our employees to expand their knowledge of the industry and see how our seed technologies benefit the end product.
