The company was founded by Arie Persoon in 1950, growing tomatoes and lettuce.
In 1980, Aad Persoon started the cultivation of house plants at the current location and, together with his brother John Persoon, the company expanded to the size it is today.

The total area of the company is 47,000 m². Of this, approximately 6,500 m² is used for the company's own production of the raw materials needed for cultivation.
Together with about 20 employees, they devote a lot of time and care to growing quality products. Aad: "We have been a member of Decorum Company for 20 years, an enthusiastic association with about 60 members. So we stand for a quality product and reliability".

The main part of the company consists of new, modern high greenhouses, equipped according to current standards and norms. In front of this is a new business area with indoor docks, a spacious office layout and ample parking.

All plants are grown on concrete floors equipped with the ebb and flow system. There are also 3 screening systems per department, which can screen independently and save energy. These are 3 examples within the company that show that we are working hard on energy efficient and environmentally conscious growing.
