SBW BV has a good start

After a short and hectic period the new SBW has found its shape, with the aid of enthusiastic people. The collaboration with Iribov has contributed significantly in the realisation of the restart, ensuring the relations of SBW solid progress of the orders SBW is performing.

The new SBW is characterized by short lines and consist of a dynamic team of both familiar and new faces. SBW focuses on tissue culture of new varieties, routine breeding support activities and productions which are performed at their own production facility in Macedonia. Progress is maintained through customer contacts from the SBW location in the Netherlands. SBW also offers its customers stock conservation and production-oriented research on location, in order to meet the customer demands as much as possible.

The cooperation with partner Iribov is mainly a strategic one. Although both companies remain independent there are certain areas of cooperation, creating a wider range of services which can be offered.

In the field of research and development chosen was to centralize these activities at Iribov, Heerhugowaard. This includes breeding support and crop-specific research, but also the development of new propagation techniques and applications. In addition, Iribov has its own molecular laboratory. A number of former SBW researchers will continue their work at Iribov, and will ensure synchronization of knowledge between the two companies. Through this combination both companies will strengthen their services, which will be beneficial for both its customer groups. In the field of automation and ICT an agreement for synchronization has been set-up.

SBW and Iribov remain independent operating companies, each with its customers and activities. Both companies work only for third parties and do not have their own breeding activities.
