About Us

Based on 35+ years of experience in seed quality research, seed multiplication and processing, our technological portfolio covers industrially-validated, high-throughput 3D phenotyping solutions. Our technologies span the whole range from seeds, seedlings to plants in the field for seed quality analysis, germination and vigour testing, processing and breeding. Developed at Strube D&S in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute, our solutions have been validated in internal industrial use for many years. The spin-off phenoLytics will make these revolutionary technologies available and accessible for all crops and the entire industry. Our mission is to drive a transformation in how seeds and plants are optimised for optimum quality to support a sustainable food production for a growing global population.
