If it doesn’t exist, we’ll work with you to develop it. That’s what creative genetics is all about. We collaborate with customers to identify needs, establish our objectives and create solutions to maximize yield and extend growing cycles in a variety of geographies and soil conditions. With direct collaboration, we can quickly implement feedback and move the product to market more quickly. Our participation in the collective provides a vast knowledge base with other industry experts and facilitates new research for faster breeding cycles in our products. As the industry changes, we’re committed to forward thinking and staying ahead of the curve.
As we identify and develop new genetics and bring them in for production and testing, we use our Pinnacle Production Process to make sure customers get what they need: better germination, improved viability, product uniformity and increased yield.
Along with industry-set standards, we use a meticulous system of protocols and rigorous tests to make sure our seeds are manufactured for optimal use in diverse microclimates. From physical seed testing, to our own unique grading system, every step is designed to ensure the best possible product for our customers.
Whether we’re working with generic varieties or our own proprietaries, we have complete control over the production process, from field to marketplace. Why? The bottom line is better yield for our customers.
Once the Pinnacle Production Process is complete, products move to the warehouse for our in-house Quality Control process, which sets us apart from our competitors. We keep our Production Process and our Quality Control department separated for a natural, unbiased assessment of product quality. We like to think of it as our own system of checks and balances.
We’re part of the International Lettuce Genome Consortium, a collective of several international lettuce seed companies and UC Davis, to combine industry knowledge, analyze genetic diversity, and develop a broader understanding of traits and attributes with sequencing of DNA. Our participation in the collective provides a vast knowledge base with other industry experts and facilitates new research for faster breeding cycles in our products.
As the industry changes, we’re committed to forward thinking and staying ahead of the curve.
