What makes Life Scientific stand out? At Life Scientific, we're doing things differently, very differently. We're not just participating; we're transforming the industry. We've disrupted a $250 billion market and are on a mission to become the world's most successful crop protection innovator. It's no easy task, but it's worth it!

So, how will we achieve it? Well, we won't do it by doing what everyone else is doing. We'll make it happen by driving innovation into everything we do, by pioneering, and by creating through our people, technology and process, at every level. In partnership with InVivo, the largest co-operative group in Europe, Life Scientific is embarking on a ground-breaking journey globally.

What's our goal? We're an R&D crop protection company driven by an extraordinary ambition - we aim to be the ultimate innovators in our field and deliver high quality choices to farmers and play a pivotal role in global food production.

What's our spirit? We are an intensely human company. Our spirit is a mix of shared leadership and fun, fostering an environment where collaboration and enjoyment go hand in hand. No one here is interested in micromanaging, we have clear goals and we let people get after them, in their own way. We don’t want to be some soulless multinational, we want to create a place where we can do our best work. It won’t be perfect, and it won’t always be easy ... but it will be worth it!

What sets us apart from others? Our exceptional speed and collaborative teamwork. Our top-notch R&D talents and Supply Chain specialists collaborate seamlessly to swiftly bring our innovative products to market, leveraging global sourcing and delivering directly to meet customer needs. Our competitive advantage is based on being first to market. Our forward-thinking Finance Team is a key driver in supporting this, embracing beyond budgeting to drive agility and efficiency across the organization. By moving away from traditional budgeting practices, our Finance Team enables Life Scientific to respond swiftly to market changes, optimizing resources in real-time. This progressive approach fuels our growth and enhances our strategic decision-making. Our success to date has enabled us to build an impressive portfolio across key EUR markets, including many first to market products.
