\n\t\t\t\tHistory\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]John De Wilde was founded in 1927<\/strong> by the third generation as a cultivation company of Azalea Indica.<\/p>\n

After optimizing our production, we took on a new challenge by exporting ourselves<\/strong>. Our goal was to create a more efficient path between grower and end-consumer. Therefore, various export companies were acquired and brought together in our business in Laarne. Today, with a competent team of employees, we export a broad portfolio all over Europe, up to North Africa<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1607459306335{padding-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”activiteiten”][vc_column width=”2\/3″]

\n\t\t\t\tActivities\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]On the one hand, we hold a plant production that consists of approximately 1.000.000 conifers and 700.000 Azaleas<\/strong>. Thanks to good cooperation with Belgian, French and German growers, we can provide a wide assortment of all indoor and outdoor green plants, from cacti and succulents, conifers, hedges and trees to indoor and outdoor flowering plants.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, we always have Danish containers<\/strong>, shelves, posts and extensions in stock for both rental and purchase.<\/p>\n

In addition to 35.000m\u00b2 greenhouses and 75.000m\u00b2 container fields, we have a well-organized infrastructure of 2.500m\u00b2 warehouse and 10.000m\u00b3 cold storage. As a result, we are able to meet the specific needs of our customers<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”5369″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” css_animation=”fadeInUp” bg_type=”bg_color” css=”.vc_custom_1607449913876{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 110px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}” el_id=”groothandel” bg_color_value=”#80af76″][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]
