PROFILE |
 |
Vilmorin Clause & Cie wants to lead you down the garden path. As one of the world's largest producers and marketers of flower and vegetable seeds, the company supplies both the home and professional garden markets. Seeds account for more than 75% of sales; the rest comes from plants, flower bulbs, and pet products. The company has old roots in France, but it has grown lush through international acquisitions and it intends to add more to its beds -- through acquisitions, joint ventures, and expansion into emerging markets where fresh vegetable consumption is on the rise. Contracts and joint ventures with genetic research firms are yielding new seeds. Groupe Limagrain Holding owns more than 50% of the company.
