VOLTZ Horticulture develops and markets seeds and young plants for flowers, foliage, shrubs, aromatic plants and small fruits aimed at horticulturists, nurseries and municipalities. This structure allows the group to address both agricultural end markets and urban greening needs, with a strong emphasis on short supply chains, biodiversity and water-efficient solutions.
