Viveros Guzmán started as an avocado producer. In 1988, its founder, Francisco Guzmán, was already planting 30,000 avocados in his Garden in Alhaurín, although this crop was little known at that time. Although the company has grown and diversified its range of products, it still relies on its fruit-growing roots. Currently, Viveros Guzmán produces and markets different types of plants, including tropical, citrus, and stone fruit.
At Viveros Guzmán, we understand innovation from different angles, as we have been innovating in communication and sales channels for decades.
But the traditional form of innovation is the product, and for this purpose, we created Guzmán Biotech in 2017, a plant research center for the in vitro propagation of improved plant species.
Guzmán Biotech is a plant biotechnology laboratory that uses in vitro culture as its main tool for the improvement and micropropagation of plant species with high added value.
It was created in 2017, thanks to Viveros Guzmán's commitment to innovation, one of the most relevant plant producers and distributors in Europe.
Fine-tuning micropropagation protocols of different species that allow exact replicas of propagated individuals to be obtained without the obstacles of seasonality or available space.
