You set the direction

At Koppert, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to grow in a way that suits you. We’ll help you discover who you are, what drives you, and where your talents lie – and turn that into concrete learning and development steps. Think training programs, coaching, buddy systems, or self-guided learning modules. 

Everything is designed to support your professional and personal growth. Because when you grow, Koppert grows with you.

Learning for a safe work environment

Learning doesn’t stop at personal development – it’s also about ensuring quality and safety. Through targeted training and an accessible learning platform, we help you and your team improve processes, recognize risks, and continuously learn from what can be done better. 

Together, we create a safe workplace where quality comes first.

Sharing Knowledge

We love sharing our knowledge with as many people as possible.

Experience Centre
At our headquarters in Berkel en Rodenrijs, we have our very own Experience Centre. This space allows us to welcome schools, growers, and groups of interested visitors from all over the world into our world. Even our King visited the Experience Centre during our 50th anniversary celebration! One of our experienced colleagues shares insights into the origins of Koppert, our R&D and production processes, the invaluable microscopic organisms we work with, and so much more.

Outdoor Experience Centre
In 2023, we opened our Outdoor Experience Centre in Dronten. This large-scale demonstration site showcases the latest biological crop protection solutions for managing pests and diseases in outdoor cultivation. Examples include sustainable solutions for onions, potatoes, soybeans, and wheat.

Koppert Foundation
The Koppert Foundation contributes to a sustainable food supply for those who need it most.

We do this by offering educational and training programs that enhance knowledge and skills in sustainable and profitable farming methods—especially for farmers who have limited or no access to such resources. For instance, the Foundation supports cocoa farmers in Ecuador by teaching them how to grow their crops more sustainably and process them hygienically into higher-value products. This enables them to achieve better yields and receive a significantly higher price for their end products.

We also love to share our knowledge with children in the Netherlands through our educational program ‘Helpers from Nature’. This program introduces kids to the importance of nature in producing safe and healthy food in a fun and accessible way.
