Recent developments include the 2022 acquisition of André Briant Jeunes Plants to bolster its leadership in the French young nursery plants market; acquisitions of Hermina Maier in 2020 for a strategic foothold in southern Germany and Austria, and HILD Samen from BASF to expand into vertical farming and new production methods; the acquisition of Florensis Italia for Italian market growth; and a trade name simplification to VOLTZ in 2025 to support international expansion amid rising European demand for diverse, high-quality plants from short supply chains.
