Ball Australia announces a strategic partnership with Gootjes AllPlant B.V.. The Dutch producer specialising in premium tissue culture plants and young plants is bringing its tissue culture plant range to the Australian market.
Operating under the brand AllPlant Australia, this collaboration will introduce a selection of exclusive and highly sought-after perennials, succulents, foliage plants, and shrubs to Australia from 2026 onwards.
AllPlant Australia will provide high-quality tissue culture plants from carefully controlled initiations undertaken in the Netherlands, with manufacturing facilities in Vietnam supplying commercial quantities. An ongoing research and development programme is in place to cultivate new plant varieties for tissue culture production and to continuously enhance propagation techniques.
