NBank and other investors support the transformation to sustainable agriculture
SEEDFORWARD completes €2 million financing for expansion
SEEDFORWARD GmbH, a leading company in the field of innovative and sustainable seed treatment, has completed a growth financing round totalling around two million euros. The financing round was led by NBank Capital, accompanied by Mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft Niedersachsen (MBG) mbH and a family office. The fresh capital will be used to drive forward the company's European expansion and strengthen its market position in sustainable agriculture.
"Our mission is to create alternatives to chemical-synthetic seed treatment and to generate ecological and economic benefits for farmers," explains Jacob P. Rohn, CEO of SEEDFORWARD. "We are very grateful for the great partners who support us on this journey. This growth financing gives us the opportunity to make a sustainable leap into the European markets."
In recent years, SEEDFORWARD GmbH has established itself as an innovator in the field of biological seed treatment. The company's core products, including MAISGUARD and LEGUGUARD, aim to provide farmers with sustainable alternatives to conventional dressing methods that simultaneously improve yields and increase plant resilience.
"With our investment, we want to promote the transformation towards a more sustainable agriculture and support companies like Seedforward in bringing their innovative solutions to the market more broadly," says Volker Ebeling, responsible investment manager at NBank Capital.
"At a time when farmers worldwide are confronted with the challenges of climate change, water and soil scarcity and the infestation of pests and diseases, the need for innovative methods to optimise agricultural production is growing rapidly. SEEDFORWARD GmbH is exactly right here and offers practical solutions that are in tune with the times," explains Fabrizio Mangano, Investment Manager at MBG in Lower Saxony.
SEEDFORWARD is planning Series A financing in the coming year to enable the next stage of growth and drive forward the development of further innovative products.
