Ecully, 30 June 2023 – At the 2023 edition of the JardinPlus® Trophies, held on 29 June at the Cité Internationale Universitaire in Paris, SBM Life Science once again distinguished itself by winning 5 Trophies.
The JardinPlus® Trophies, organised by Jardineries magazine, are eagerly awaited by the gardening world every year, as they reward the best brands and suppliers in the sector on criteria based on innovation, logistics, shelf assistance and communication.
In 2022, SBM Life Science France received four JardinPlus® awards, including Supplier of the Year, while its Managing Director Alexandre Simmler won Manager of the Year.
This year, the Lyon-based company has done even better, winning five Trophies in the “garden products” category, in the following categories:
This is the third year that SBM Life Science has been awarded the Gold Trophy for Best Supplier of Garden Products in the “Fertilisers and Biostimulants” and “Pest Control, Household Insecticides” categories, and the second for “Treatment Products and Weedkillers”. It should be noted that every year since the JardinPlus® Trophies began, Or Brun has been awarded a Trophy in the “Soil conditioners and soil improvers” category.
“We are delighted to receive these awards, which not only recognise the efforts of our employees, who work hard every day to drive the plant sector forward, but also highlight our ability to innovate, based on responsible commitment and consumer support, in the eyes of retailers and consumers alike”.
Philippe Sertillange, Managing Director SBM Life Science France
In addition, SPG won the Silver Trophy for Best Supplier of Flower, Vegetable and Grass Seeds for the second year running. SPG became part of SBM in December 2021.
