Royal Barenbrug Group
120 year history, 4 Barenburg generations
A world of possibilities–that’s what Joseph Barenbrug pictured in 1904 when he saw grass. He initiated the development of varieties for different purposes that is still ongoing today. These varieties are suitable for a wide range of climates. Tasty and healthy forages with high nutritional value for cattle, fine leaved and attractive green grass for parks and gardens, slow-growing grass for lawns, strong grass for sports pitches and recreation. If you can imagine it, we can create it.
Family company
Helping customers deal with all kinds of challenges was Joseph’s mission. Frank and Bastiaan Barenbrug continue that tradition as the fourth generation in Barenbrug’s Supervisory Board. Today, the Royal Barenbrug Group is a leading worldwide creator of turf and forage solutions. Thanks to four generations of Barenbrug leaders we can serve you with over 120 years of experience.
