Driven by a will to create value

Team members during a meeting

Creating value, which defines and drives Premier Tech’s entrepreneurial spirit and ambition to build, is at the heart of our journey since our beginnings in 1923.

Fully aligned with our promise to make a difference, this determination is conveyed through two clearly defined axes. First, there is our commitment toward our clients to deliver value to them that makes a difference and to support them actively in their development. Then, there is our capacity to innovate, which accelerated in 1983 through our first structured Innovation, Research and Development (IR&D) efforts.

In 2023, not only are we celebrating being 100 years young, but also 40 years of ongoing IR&D efforts and investments dedicated to new products. This is one of the driving factors behind Premier Tech’s sustained growth, which is also at the very origin of our business diversification which began in 1990.

Without the vision of leveraging biotechnology as a way to make our horticultural offering stand out, without the commitment toward enhancing health and safety in our plants and increasing efficiency, and without the strong determination to find new ways to use peat moss, Premier Tech would not be the leader it is today in its various business sectors.

This entrepreneurial spirit and our ambition to build — which rely on our commitment to leverage our competencies, knowledge base and assets — are the governing factors that led to our diversification over the years.

These elements, along with a systematic and rigorous strategic planning approach, worked together and fuelled our organic and external growth, making Premier Tech the multinational company it is today. That is how we now offer innovative technological solutions across five verticals.
