Who are we
That is what we achieve with our own Raes genetics of Primula, Viola and Myosotis. Since breeding has been in our DNA from the start of our family business in 1927, we keep on being focused on creating the best material! Our own breeding is available as seed and young plant.
To achieve all this, we are using more than 43,000 m² of greenhouses, fully automatic sowing and filling machines, LED lighting, an automated sticking line and a sophisticated barcode system.
