About our mission
We are a vertically integrated global supplier and our vision is to be a reliable and stable partner for our customers, whose satisfaction is essential to us.
We carefully grow, harvest and process our hops into premium products to ensure they meet the strict standards of the brewing industry. Many years of experience in the field and reinvestment help us build a strong position on the market. Our passion for high-quality hops also earned us an award for the development of hop farming in the Žatec region.
In six centers (Blšany and Kryry, Běsno, Mšec, Nesuchyně, Pochválov and Staňkovice) we grow 6 varieties of hops, with the world-famous Žatec semi-early red hop (SAAZ) occupying the largest growing area.
Almost all major global brewing groups, including Asahi Group Holdings, South African Brewery, Heineken, Molson Coors Brewing Company, Suntory, AB Inbev and others, buy hops from us, mainly the aforementioned SAAZ.
A vision of a sustainable future
What we do is inextricably linked to caring for the soil and keeping it meaningful for future generations of hop growers. We are currently facing, for example, a lack of water or excessive production of greenhouse gases. In order to be reliable and responsible partners in the future, we are working on a long-term sustainability plan. That is why we are changing the established agricultural practices.
Our growers and suppliers, whose work we can always rely on, share our efforts. In addition, by starting to grow hops ourselves on our capital-linked farms, we have reduced the logistical demands of the entire production and can oversee how the soil of our growing plants and the environment that surrounds them is treated.
We apply the principles of regenerative agriculture and get the best Czech varieties to the whole world. For us, high-quality hop cultivation goes hand in hand with a sustainable future.
