H.J.M. (Bert) Barenbrug - Barenbrug Group

November 2002

Barenbrug is "Great in Grass". For decades, our listed variety Baron was the single biggest bestseller worldwide. Licenses to produce the seeds yielded good profits all around: for growers, for intermediaries and for our company.

Nowadays, our Pebble Beach line is considered to be the ultimate in consumer turf blends. Barenbrug mixtures are used on a great number of the golf courses around the world. Of course, we take pride in supplying the "holy" grass of the world’s oldest golf course, St Andrews in Scotland. And we are also proud that our mixtures are used on the majority of soccer grounds that host the European and World championships. But we never forget where we came from: providing seeds for forage grasses. We will still do this.

We are a seed business: research and development, production and cleaning, strict quality control and packaging, branding and marketing. We depend largely on logistics and use Electronic Data Interface (EDI) systems to facilitate order and delivery. It’s a very competitive industry.
