In the spotlight: Labeau
Labeau Breeders adds valuable expertise and innovative strength to Breeding Accel.
Since early 2024, Microflor (Belgium) and Hark/Sion (Germany/The Netherlands) have joined forces under the name Labeau Breeders. The company ranks among the world’s leading breeders and propagators of Phalaenopsis and also focuses on Helleborus and Gloxinia. Innovation, quality and sustainability are the common thread throughout their activities.
Breeding Accel
Labeau Breeders has been a member of Breeding Accel from the very start. The collaboration within this network provides a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and strategic discussions. “The strength lies in open communication. Because members do not regard each other as competitors, valuable conversations, collaborations and fresh ideas emerge,” says Labeau Breeders.
A good example of this is the regular meetings between product managers of the participating companies. These sessions lead to new insights and inspire continuous product development.
Innovations
When it comes to innovation, Labeau Breeders is strongly committed to developing new breeding techniques and solutions within New Breeding Technology. In addition, the company recently completed its new tissue culture laboratory for Phalaenopsis. In Çanakkale, Turkey, the company is on track to produce 25 million plants per year; an important step towards further growth.
