Flower bulb preparation and trading company Nord Lommerse Flower Bulb Group located in Hillegom has attracted Smart Impact Investment as a new partner at the end of last year. The independent investment company will support the company with knowledge, skills and funding to secure the next phase of growth for the future.
Managed by the families Lommerse and De Wit, the Nord Lommerse Flower Bulb Group has been in the industry of cultivation, trade and preparation of flower bulbs for many generations. Through the years the company, with their own nursery in Anna Paulowna, has developed itself into a worldwide market leader in the areas of cultivation and supply of tulip bulbs, hyacinth bulbs and more, to the professional forcers.

CEO Erik Lommerse: “It is time for the next phase for the Nord Lommerse Flower Bulb Group. Together we have built the company to what it is today. However, we want to expand our worldwide footprint. To secure our continuation and growth, while maintaining quality and service, we were looking for a strong partner which we found in Smart Impact Investment."
