At Hazera, we are proud of our dedicated team, which works passionately to provide our growers with the best products. While our products often grab the headlines, it is the Hazera team who are behind our success. Let’s shine the spotlight on Jan-Lukas Pawlik (32) an R&D Trial Officer from Germany, who plays a vital role in our organization.
Jan-Lukas Pawlik has been working at Hazera as R&D Trial Officer since 2021 and is responsible for onion breeding trials in Germany in strong relation with the onion breeding team in Rilland. He lives with his wife and daughter in Weinheim. As the son of a biology teacher and a landscape architect, he has always been interested in the world of plants. After studying horticulture, he worked for an agricultural production company before joining Hazera.
In your opinion, what is the most important personality trait someone would need to have to work in your industry?
Flexibility and communication. As a trial area without a trial station, every activity is dependent on the partner growers and external companies. The weather and the availability of people and machinery must be coordinated. Whether to sow or harvest is decided anew every day.
Tell us about a project you’re proud of and why
Our harvesting machine, which was over 50 years old, was about to break down and could not guarantee that the trial plots would not be mixed. I was responsible for selecting a new harvester and, together with the production company, the necessary improvements and adjustments were made for the trial harvest. Today we have a reliable, flexible and modern harvesting machine for the coming years.
What does “Hazera- Growing Together” mean to you?
Responsibility – for employees, customers and varieties. To grow together as a company with our customers and our environment.
Tell us something about yourself that most people do not know
I’m not the biggest fan of the Christmas season, but I actually like the song ‘All I want for Christmas is you’ by Mariah Carey. So when this song is played up and down in the malls, I’m always happy.
