Business localisation

One of the Netherlands’ most important and modern horticulture centres is the area around Boskoop. R&G - Export is situated in the middle of this horticulture region and consists of a spacious, modern repository, an office block and an attractive presentation garden. Thanks to the extremely favourable conditions of business location and modern equipment, our working method is highly efficient.

Business history

The exportation company R&G – Export B.V. is the result of a merger between Rosbergen & Grootendorst. Both companies have extensive experience in the tree nursery branch, thus providing our wholesale business with solid horticultural roots.
We feel very strongly about skills and commitment to quality. Moreover, our efficient company logistics enables us to pick, pack and prepare placed orders for expedition in a professional manner.

Company logistics
Our company focuses on tracing&tracking.
Plants are delivered in the supply hall and provided with their unique bar codes. The plants’ categorical authenticity and its quality are verified (dimensions and visual health). Upon approval, they will be scanned, after which the plant orders are placed and packed according to category and client. Plants can be packed on Danish trolleys (CC’s), or, if the category’s fragility allows such, in boxes or on pallets.Then the packed units are scanned once again. Each unit is provided with an overview stating the content of that unit and the concerned clients’ addresses. On a so-called shortage list there is mention of the actions still to be taken with respect to the order in question. If the shortage list is signed for approval, the invoice is processed and the order will be prepared for expedition. Only professional expedition companies may transport R&G - Export products. In case clients wish to have an EAN bar code stating the final consumer price labelled on their orders, we have installed a separate processing line.
Both the quality of the plants and the employees’ working conditions benefit from this tight organisation in the repository.
