Combining ideas, inspiration, decoration materials and plants

OZ Planten supplier of the month April 2018 is Plant Trend. Plant Trend has been working for years on designing and producing plant arrangements. OZ Planten visited the company that was founded in 2001 by René van Zanten and is located in Aalsmeer, just one kilometer away from FloraHolland Aalsmeer. Plant Trend has an area of 18,000 square meters of business space with 85 permanent employees. There are even advanced plans for Plant Trend to build another 10,000 square meters of business space in the near future. With the extra business space larger orders can continue to be processed in a fast, quality-oriented and efficient manner.

The strength of Plant Trend is the combination of ideas, inspiration, decoration materials and plants that lead to the production of fixed lines that match the coming trends and the season. Once every two weeks they issue a leaflet containing all the packages. In addition to the Plant Trend fixed line, custom-made arrangements are also made. In order to be able to handle small customer orders optimally, Plant Trend has two points of sale in Aalsmeer and in Naaldwijk at the auction. The customers of Plant Trend include supermarkets, garden centers, florists and gas stations.

The distinctive character of Plant Trend is particularly evident in the field of originality and design. Plant Trend knows the latest trends and knows how to respond to them.

Sustainability
Environment-friendly production is important at Plant Trend, as is minimizing energy use and separating waste. They use an external processing company to collect their waste. For example, plastic, cardboard and residual waste is collected in separate containers and removed. Where possible, Plant Trend reuses the cardboard, plastic (trays of plants) and reuses many packaging.

Plant Trend is in possession of the MPS Florimark TraceCert certificate. This is a certificate specific to the (large) trade. Every year they receive an audit from MPS-CAS and they are checked. After approval the certificate is extended by one year. The TraceCert certificate stands for traceability and insight of the company. Although Plant Trend is not a grower and therefore does not have to deal directly with all kinds of plant protection products, they do work with the end product of the growers, the plant. All plants are purchased from certified growers (MPS-ABC and/or MPS-GAP).
