Benary celebrates 175 years of breeding
After the family had lost all of their company and personal belongings Friedrich Benary decided to start from scratch in the western zone of divided Germany in 1946.
Friedrich started from scratch in 1946 in the western zone of Germany
He traveled through all of Europe with his bike to start his business in Hann. Münden, Lower Saxony, Germany.
With all of his passion for flower breeding, hard work, and a strong sense of entrepreneurial spirit he created one of the world's leading seed breeding companies for ornamentals.

Today Benary is creating new products at three breeding locations: in North America, Germany and the Netherlands. They ship their seed to over 120 countries worldwide.
Celebrating the 175th anniversary acknowledges Friedrich and Ernst Benary’s endeavors for the horticultural industry.
Ernst founded the company 1843 in Erfurt
Ernst – the founder of Benary – set the cornerstone in 1843 in Erfurt (former East Germany). He and the next three generations together with their employees delivered excellent seed quality to famous, historical fellows, only to mention a few of them: The Russian Emperor, Gregor Mendel; and even the Titanic had Benary seed on board.
