New Collaboration Bremkens Orchids and Dümmen Orange

Offering best products and services to orchid growers in Europe

Dümmen Orange and Bremkens Orchids, one of Europe’s largest young plant producers, signed an agreement for exclusive rooting of Dümmen Orange phalaenopsis products for the European market at the Bremkens production facility in Germany. In addition, the sales teams of both companies will team up to create best services to support growers with best-in-class services and assortment.

Dümmen Orange is market leader in the breeding of floricultural crops. Since the company acquired Taiwanese orchid breeder SOGO in 2017, the breeding and global sales of phalaenopsis has steadily developed consolidating our market position in this product category. Our global sales network provides growers all around the world access to a wide and truly differentiated product assortment.

Bremkens Orchids is one of the largest young plant producers in Europe. It is a family-owned company and currently managed by Christian Bremkens in close collaboration with his brother Peter and their father Matthias. The company was founded in 1955 by Matthias’s father. Their young plants are being raised in 3ha greenhouse in Geldern-Walbeck, Germany. With state of the art machines, such as a Flier sorting machine, and excellent operations, Bremkens supplies the best possible young plants to growers in Europe and with this agreement the company will be the preferred phalaenopsis rooting station for Dümmen Orange in Europe.

The partnership also includes the teaming up of the sales teams of both companies. Edwin van den Nieuwendijk (Sales Manager at Bremkens Orchids) and Christian Bremkens will combine with the Dümmen Orange Sales Team in order to bring the products forward in Europe. Both companies will also investigate possible deeper association in joint promotions, testing facilities and improved services for growers.
