ZMS is based in the Netherlands and serves a variety of European customers with non-GMO and organic raspberries, snow peas, sugar snaps and fine green beans sourced from a number of African-based growing regions. The transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.
ZMS is based in the Netherlands and commenced operations in 2018. ZMS was initially founded by Rients van der Wal and Sander Barhoorn.
