Selecta One, the globally leading breeding and young plant company from Stuttgart/Germany, announces the acquisition of Wagagai Ltd.
With this step, Selecta One secures long-term production capacity in East Africa and reinforces its commitment to sustainable and socially responsible business practices.
“This acquisition is more than a strategic investment – it is a continuation of shared values and a long-standing partnership,” says Per Klemm, CEO of Selecta One. “We are proud to integrate Wagagai into the Selecta family and to build on its impressive legacy of both horticultural excellence and social impact.”
Olav Boenders, co-founder of Wagagai, adds: “Selecta has been a trusted partner for more than 20 years. With this step, we are ensuring a stable and meaningful future for our employees and the community around the farm.”

The takeover includes the continuation of all operations at the current site. Selecta One will also ensure a smooth transition for other breeders who have used Wagagai as their production partner in the past. In particular, an agreement with Beekenkamp has been reached to continue the propagation of their crops in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect.
With this acquisition, Selecta One further expands its international production network and sets a strong example for responsible growth in the global ornamentals industry.
