Founder / Managing director / co-owner at Florca - Honselersdijk, South Holland, Netherlands
FLORCASince our founding in 1999, our flower exporting company has been shipping fresh flowers and plants by air freight to far-away destinations. Over the course of the years, we have grown into an absolute air freight specialist with expertise in the areas of packaging, selecting the best airline, the required documentation, customs processing and local transportation. Today, we export more than 1 mln. kg in flowers, plants and accessories annually to more than 40 destinations worldwide.Grower rootsWe started exporting to America and Canada from the Vijverberg family's lily nursery. We used a delivery van to pick up the flowers directly from the growers in the Westland and then package them at the nursery for the various air freight destinations. After moving from the nursery to the modern Trade Parc Westland at the flower auction Flora Holland in Naaldwijk in 2003, our direct contacts with growers have always remained in place. For example, we purchase the majority of our Cymbidiums from our own Orchid Farm -label and all flowers for our Flowers for Events orders directly from our selected growers.Order directly from the grower via the webshopIn the meantime, we have established over a hundred relationships with selected growers so that you can order a large assortment of flowers and plants directly online. In the webshop you can choose between Farm fresh flowers and Farm fresh plants. The product group Farm fresh plants consists fully of Decorum planten. This growers' association consists of about 70 carefully selected plant growers with one objective: a wide assortment of high-quality plants under one brand. Only the very best products carry the Decorum™ quality label, and we are an official dealer of Decorum plants to far-away destinations.
