TIB Sales Manager Lorena Lopez commented ‘we thank Clause for helping us to develop this market for over 20 years, however we now feel that we can improve our support for Spanish celery production by developing much closer relationships with growers.’ Tozer Iberica have invested in new storage facilities in preparation for the handover and expect a smooth transition.
From 1st September Tozer Iberica, the Spanish subsidiary of Tozer Seeds formally took over the distribution of Tozer bred F1 celery seed into Spain and Portugal. Up until now, sales of the market leading Tozer varieties such as Monterey and Julius have been handled by French company HM Clause, who introduced Tozer material into Spain in the 1990s.
