How it began

In 1907, "Grandpa Klaver" laid the foundation for our family business. Our father and uncle specialized in forcing lily bulbs. In early 2000, we - Gert-Jan and Lydia, brother and sister - took over the business. We expanded to Ethiopia, where we grow summer flowers in addition to lilies. With guts and skill, we have grown into a reliable partner in the flower world.

Where we are now

Today we operate from two locations: a unique 14-hectare greenhouse in the Netherlands for lilies, and a 120-hectare production farm in Ethiopia for summer flowers. With a dedicated team, we are among the largest suppliers in the sector. We are the market leader in Limonium in Ethiopia and the largest Gypsophila producer in Africa.
