Rijk Zwaan has more than 90 years of experience in vegetable breeding and seed production. From a vegetable seed shop in Rotterdam in 1924, the company — with a turnover of more than 350 million euros — has grown into a top-five global player in creating successful vegetable varieties. Today, the family business sells seeds of more than 1,000 varieties across 25 different vegetable crops. The breeding company is active internationally and is characterized by continuous growth. A great deal is invested in research, knowledge and people, because Rijk Zwaan is convinced this is the only way to keep delivering innovation and quality. The investment in Qlik's solutions is a good example of an investment that benefits both innovation and quality.
