Hem Genetics is celebrating its 25th day of remembrance this twelvemonth . With 25 years , Hem Genetics is a “ youngster ” among the cum companies , but well - known ( amongst others ) for its genetical gnome varieties in bedding plant . Their innovational genetic science , in combination with recent investment in “ res publica - of - the - art ” breeding facilities and seeded player storage , has lead to a substantial basis for a thriving future .
Hem Genetics is originated 25 yr ago from Hem Zaden , a company that supplies flower seed worldwide for the amateur securities industry . In this segment , Hem Zaden is one of the oldest and largest , if not the largest supplier in the world . At that clock time , owner and former film director of the company Mr. Jan Singer wanted to supply the professional market as well and nominate two experienced serviceman from the seed industry : Jan Sijm ( reproduction ) and Ruud Westenberg ( sale ) .
But how does a new company give way into a market when thousands of varieties are already available ? Hem Genetics precede genetic stocky varieties like Petunia , Geranium , Salvia and Ageratum which did n’t need any or few ( chemical ) growth governor , which lead to less labor , low toll and better sustainability . For example , the Petunia Limbo / Mambo series were a find and are still a bench mark in the global seed industry .
But beside summary genetics , Hem Genetics is also searching for unique genetics in a wide range of annual , perennials and herb , which for example led to a new series of improbable dual - flowering snapdragons ( Antirrhinum DoubleShot ) recently awarded with the AAS Gold Medal for garden ánd container operation .
The company based in Hem ( close to Enkhuizen ) is still run by the Singer family . Frank Singer is conductor ( his boy Maarten will be soon at “ rod spatial relation ” ) , and former film director Jan Singer ( 80 year previous ) is still around to drink a cupful of coffee and have a New World chat with everyone .
To keep the twenty-fifth day of remembrance of Hem Genetics , the entire squad has been out on a weekend trip to Den Bosch . This cheerful ambience will in all probability be extended next week , when Flower Trials are starting again . breeder from all over the spot show their latest innovations and of course Hem Genetics will enter as well .
The Hem Genetics Flower Trials can be visited from Tuesday 13 until Friday 16 June at Takii in Kudelstaart ( The Netherlands ) .
