Plant transport
Plant transport – climate-controlled from young plants to perennials
Since 1895, we have been serving the floriculture sector as a family business. Plant transport is one of our core specialisms. From cuttings (young plants) to perennials, from garden plants to houseplants: you can count on careful handling, stable conditions, and strict delivery times. Even during peak season.
Nationwide coverage & smart cross-docking
With locations in Hillegom (South Holland), Breezand (North Holland), and Bergen (Limburg), we have optimal coverage of production and sales areas. We use our Limburg HUB as a cross-docking location for shipments to Germany. We serve all Greenports in the Netherlands on a daily basis.
National plant transport (daily)
We drive daily from nurseries to auctions and export/trading companies. Routes include:
- Aalsmeer
- Naaldwijk
- Rijnsburg
- Eelde
- Rhein Maas (DE)
Our clients are trading companies, growers, and breeders. We carefully coordinate delivery times, docks, and route combinations so that you can continue without any waiting times.
International plant transport
We specialize in international plant transport, with a focus on Germany and Switzerland. Young plants require extra attention: temperature control and care during loading and unloading. That is why we use climate-controlled vehicles with tail lifts and Dutch drivers who are customer-friendly and skilled—your calling card on location.
E-commerce & mail order: speed + condition
We have been transporting goods for major players in mail order and e-commerce (indoor and outdoor plants) for many years. The market demands fast, finely meshed, and top-quality delivery—even across borders. Because we drive for multiple parties, we make smart combinations. For you, this means faster turnaround, lower costs per shipment, and consistent quality.
Plant promotions for retail stores and garden centers
Promotions targeting supermarkets, hardware stores, and garden centers in the Netherlands or Germany? We plan time slots and arrange dock appointments.
Conditioned as standard
All our plant transport is climate-controlled. We transport plants at temperatures between 8 and 15 °C (depending on customer requirements). We monitor temperatures continuously and adjust them where necessary—so that your products arrive in optimal condition.
