AN ORGANIZATION VERY CLOSE TO ITS MARKETS
Vilmorin & Cie has chosen to organize its activities in Business Units,
in order to give priority to proximity to its customers and its multiple
markets.
This organizational model, specific to Vilmorin & Cie and built
around 10 Business Units
(1)
, is a true strength: it provides excellent
knowledge of a market that is highly segmented in terms of products
and geographical influence.
It also guarantees Vilmorin & Cie with an excellent capacity to
anticipate and respond.
A LONG-TERM VISION OF ITS DEVELOPMENT
The long-term is central to a seed company, which has to organize its
work over long periods, since on average it takes between 7 and 10
years to create a new variety.
It is also characteristic of the profession of farmers, who need to work
with constancy and perseverance.
Vilmorin & Cie’s long-term vision is strengthened by the consistent
accompaniment of Limagrain, whose culture and governance model
encourage lasting strategic choices.
LIMAGRAIN
Limagrain is an international cooperative group founded and managed by French farmers. Its founding mission is to move agriculture forward to meet
food challenges.
As a creator and producer of plant and cereal varieties, Limagrain markets field seeds and vegetable seeds - through Vilmorin & Cie - as well as cereal
products (cereal ingredients and bakery products) – in particular through the brands Jacquet and Brossard.
