They are headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The acquisition further strengthens Key’s position in its core potato and vegetable market segments.

“It will enable us to offer an even broader set of integrated solutions that will benefit our customers’ product quality, production efficiency and overall yield.”
Mark Verschuren, Herbert’s former owner, sees the partnership delivering strategic advantages to customers worldwide.

“Both companies have always had a strong focus on customer relationships.”

“Herbert customers will now get access to Key’s strong global footprint and sales network.”

“For service and technical support, they can now rely on Duravant’s global SupportPro organization.”
