Saatzucht Steinach GmbH
Today we offer our customers a profitable range of forage and lawn grasses, legumes, green manures as well as specialised crops. On our Steinach’s breeding stations we test the varieties across a wide range of soil and climatic conditions and produce the basic seed. We then multiply the varieties further on our own 4500 ha of land. Valued business partners at home and abroad can have varieties that are produced to suit their own specific requirements and marketing strategies. We offer the possibility of producing „Steinach“ varieties under a license agreement, or we can organise seed production for you depending on your preference. The entire process from breeding, multiplication, processing and marketing is quality controlled internally and externally to ensure that the highest standards are maintained throughout. We develop a trusting relationship with wholesale and production companies through our hard work and conviction. This means we can assure that we will always deliver the finest quality seed to our customers and farmers.
