Millborn Seeds Acquires Luhrs Certified Seed
Millborn Seeds has announced its expansion through the acquisition of Luhrs Certified Seed in Imperial, Neb.
“Millborn aligns well with our goals and values at Luhrs, so we knew Millborn was the right fit,” says Tom Luhrs, owner of Luhrs Certified Seed. “We want to improve the seed supply chain for all producers, and that’s what Millborn is all about.”
Millborn shares one of its goals is to invest in equipment and facilities, making Luhrs’ seed production facilities, including two cleaning lines and a large processing capacity, a good fit for the company. This infrastructure will allow Millborn’s go-to-market brand, Renovo Seed, to expand into the Western Plains.
“Millborn’s goal is to create an integrated supply chain and provide the highest quality seed products for our customers. The addition of Luhrs Certified Seed allows us to reach farmers, ranchers and dealers in the Western Plains faster, and with the highest quality product,” says Matt Fenske, CEO of Millborn. “We’re excited to add the Luhrs personnel to our team and get involved in the Imperial community.”
As the company has been making acquisitions in South Dakota and Nebraska, it also recently expanded its footprint outside of the U.S. with the addition of a location in Canada.
