Svalöf Weibull

Svalöf Weibull was a prominent Swedish agricultural biotechnology and seed company formed in 1993 through the merger of Svalöf AB and W. Weibull AB. Headquartered in Svalöv, Sweden, the company specialized in the development and marketing of high-quality seed varieties for northern climates, focusing on crops such as wheat, barley, oats, and oilseeds. It utilized advanced biotechnological methods, including marker-assisted selection and genetic research, to improve crop yield and stress resistance. The company was a key player in European agricultural research and collaborated on significant projects like the development of genetically modified starch potatoes. In 2006, the company was rebranded as Lantmännen SW Seed and was eventually fully integrated into the Lantmännen Group. Its legacy continues through Lantmännen's agricultural division, which remains a leader in European plant genetics and seed production.
