Dutch breeders HilverdaKooij and Florist Holland to merge

HilverdaKooij and Florist Holland are going to merge. Both companies from De Kwakel have individually been active in the field of breeding and propagation of flowers and plants for more than 40 years.

By combining knowledge and resources, the breeders are able to further improve and expand their assortment. The joint focus is, among other things, on investing in automation and innovative cultivation and breeding techniques. Together, global production is growing because the bundled international network consists of production locations on every continent.

"In the start-up period, we regularly discussed our joint ambitions and the drive for innovation with each other. It soon became clear that our goals were the same. With all the possibilities we create by combining our companies, this is the only logical step for the future," says Jan Hilverda, Managing Director HilverdaKooij.

"We’ll turn two strong companies into one. In everything. This means that we will be working from a single location in the Netherlands. The first step has already been taken with the purchase of 4 hectares of land adjacent to the Florist site. The aim is that from 2020 we will all be working at the same location", says Melchior Moen, Managing Director Florist Holland.
