The seed branch of Maïsadour® Group was created in 1949, a few years after the creation of a farmers’ co-operative in the southwest of France in 1936. The objective was clear: to create, produce and supply high-quality maize hybrids to the rapidly expanding French market. For 75 years, this adventure has continued with great success. MAS Seeds® varieties have gradually been cultivated all over France and Europe, and now also in Asia, America and Africa. Yet we remain loyal to our founding values ​​and our close relationship with farmers. Farmers who are not only our customers, but also members of our cooperative. This drives our teams to develop solutions day in and day out to increase the sustainability and profitability of farms while optimising crop yields and quality.

Today, MAS Seeds® has become an international seed company working not only with maize, but also sunflowers, oilseed rape and lucerne, among others. With these new and challenging ambitions, a total re-branding was carried out in 2018 with a new name and a new face. This brand is still firmly rooted in its history, but better suited to the international platform and diverse business activities. 

In 2023, our purpose, to Act Together for a Changing Agriculture, became the foundation of our brand, highlighting our goal of contributing to the agroecological transition as much as possible, as we are convinced this is the correct path forward.
