Company history

Garden Seed and Nursery Stock Company TORSEED S.A. is one of the leaders in the seed industry in Poland.

Located in Toruń companies have been producing flower and vegetable seeds since before World War II. The first seed company located in Toruń, which was also well known abroad, was „Hozakowski” Company. Soon after the war a branch of the Polish Seed Producers Cooperative Society was created in Toruń. In the 1950s National Seed and Nursery Stock Company in Toruń (C.N.O.S) emerged. In the 1980s C.N.O.S was transformed into Garden Seed and Nursery Stock Company in Toruń. In 1996 Garden Seed and Stock Nursery Company TORSEED was founded and then privatized and transformed into a stock-offering company.

The shares of the company belong to its employees and, to a smaller extent, to the company's pensioners, plantators and distributors, mainly from kujawsko-pomorskie voivodeship.

Currently our offer contains several dozens species and several hundreds varieties of vegetables, flowers and herbs. The offer involves also varieties which have been created by the company's fast-growing Breeding Department.

TORSEED S.A. was praised with many awards at domestic and international trade fairs like Polagra, Horti-Expo (Golden Hortus Award) and PRO-HORTI (Golden Medal).
