 PROFILE
When Sylvan says its business is mushrooming, you can interpret that literally. Sylvan is the leading global producer of mushroom spawn (mushroom "seed"), which rings up 75% of its sales, and related products supplied to growers. Besides producing and distributing spawn under such brand names as Hauser, Somycel, and Sylvan, the company sells casing inoculum (mushroom growth accelerator) and nutritional supplements for mushroom compost. Fresh mushrooms, sold to food retailers, ring up 25% of sales. Sylvan has operations in Australia, Europe, South Africa, and the US. CEO Dennis Zensen owns 14% of Sylvan, whose operations date back to 1937. Four institutional investors own a combined 44% stake in the company.
