Dümmen Orange acquires Quick Plug

Quick Plug, known as a producer of stabilised sowing and cutting composts for the professional horticulture sector, became part of Dümmen Orange on 1 January 2017. The directors of Quick Plug have decided to transfer the shares to Dümmen Orange.

This is the fifth takeover since DNA Green Group changed its name to Dümmen Orange in April 2015. Companies including Florexpo, Wander Tuinier, Hobaho and Olij Breeding are now part of the group.

Quick Plug develops a range of concepts for growers and propagators within the Dutch national and international horticulture sector. Quick Plug technology opens up opportunities for automation and robotisation of several product groups and adds quality to rooted products. Over the last 12 years, the company has grown to become an international player with customers around the world, including the Netherlands, Germany, Eastern Europe, the USA, Mexico, Brazil and Taiwan.

Further expansion into a business with a global presence is planned. Dümmen Orange has asked the directors of Quick Plug to press ahead with the current policy. John van der Maarel has been appointed the new commercial director. His deep and extensive understanding of the market will provide a new stimulus for innovation and further expansion of services to customers.
