Flower exporter Barendsen will join OZ-Hami, part of Dutch Flower Group (DFG), as of 1 January 2022.
Barendsen was looking for a committed partner to help grow its customer portfolio. OZ-Hami, which incorporates the OZ Export, Hamifleurs and Van Dam export businesses, fitted the bill.
Jan de Boer, Managing Director of Barendsen, said: “From the Barendsen brand’s perspective, becoming part of OZ-Hami is a very positive step for our organisation, our customers and our grower network. We’re gaining a committed partner with whom we’ll be able to continue growing our customised delivery business.”
Independent company
Richard Koenen, OZ-Hami Commercial Director added: “Barendsen’s expertise in intricate logistics, together with the specific range of flowers produced by its associated growers, are a perfect complement to the activities that we, at OZ-Hami, want to develop for our customers in the future.”
Barendsen will continue to be presented in the market as an independent company.
Barendsen has been exporting fresh cut flowers to wholesale companies, event & wedding planners and leading florists for more than 100 years.
The company’s 70 employees in Aalsmeer prepare custom orders for customers in more than 35 countries around the world, including Switzerland, France and Spain.
