Kyndryl Holdings has secured a five‑year extension of its SAP management contract with Landgard, a leading German producer cooperative that markets flowers, plants, fruit, vegetables and convenience products for thousands of member growers. The extension builds on a relationship that began in 2008 and positions Kyndryl to continue managing and modernizing Landgard’s SAP infrastructure, including hosting services and ongoing SAP Basis operations.

The agreement extends Kyndryl’s role in ensuring reliable, scalable, and resilient support for Landgard’s SAP environment and lays the groundwork for a potential future migration to SAP Cloud ERP Private. By extending the contract, Kyndryl reinforces its long‑standing partnership with a major client in the green sector and expands its footprint in the European market.

Landgard selected Kyndryl in part because of its sustainability strategy, which includes a commitment to net‑zero emissions by 2040 and the use of renewable energy. “This contract renewal strengthens a relationship built on trust, performance and shared innovation goals. Kyndryl’s reliability and expertise provide the foundation for our ongoing SAP transformation and thus make a valuable contribution to our climate protection strategy,” said Bas Erik van Gein, CIO of Landgard. “At Kyndryl, we see technology as a force for sustainable progress. Both Kyndryl and Landgard are advancing their sustainability strategies in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and hold an ISO 50001 certification for energy‑efficient practices. Our collaboration shows how innovation and corporate social responsibility can reinforce each other using modern IT to drive efficiency, reduce emissions and build a more resilient digital future,” added Kerstin Haubold, Director and Sustainability Leader at Kyndryl.

The extension signals a shift from purely operational support to a more transformational partnership. Kyndryl’s SAP strategy—rooted in a 30‑year alliance with SAP and a focus on RISE with SAP delivery—now includes opportunities for legacy system modernization and the application of AI technologies. This evolution aligns with Landgard’s digital agenda and Kyndryl’s broader goal of driving cloud‑based, AI‑enabled transformations for enterprise clients.

Overall, the five‑year extension underscores Kyndryl’s role as a trusted partner for Landgard’s digital and sustainability initiatives, while reinforcing Kyndryl’s position in the European SAP services market and its commitment to sustainable, technology‑driven progress.
