Working together for a more beautiful world
A more beautiful world encompasses a variety of aspects. There is the aesthetic dimension, with an emphasis on colour, beauty and happiness. There is also a sustainable side, which focuses on preserving the world for future generations. This includes making products and processes more sustainable, reducing energy consumption, and using water sparingly. It also includes reintroducing orchids, protecting rare breeds and nurturing biodiversity.
Working together
We work as a team on every front and this is the backbone of our company. By sharing knowledge and being interactive, we achieve an integrated approach to research and development. This cooperation not only promotes process and product innovation, but also opens doors to new opportunities and markets through external partnerships. It is the key to better results, sustainable success and, above all, streamlined internal and external connections. This keeps us at the forefront. Together we achieve more!
Beautiful long-lasting products
A beautiful and durable plant is not only an aesthetic addition to our living environment, but also a sustainable choice for greenery in our home. Plants such as Anthuriums, Bromeliads and Orchids thrive with minimal care and are resilient in different environments. These colourful companions require little water and thrive in a variety of light conditions, making them an ideal choice for novice and experienced plant lovers alike. Their durability and simplicity of care mean that these plants are not only beautiful but also practical and suitable for various living spaces.
Our environment
Sustainability, or caring for nature and our environment, is in our DNA.
We nurture a deep-rooted concern for nature and our environment. This is not just a principle; it forms the essence of who we are and how we act. Our dedication leads to responsible choices and a lasting positive impact on the world around us.
In breeding, for instance, we devote a lot of attention to the resilience of our plants; in cultivation we focus on crop protection and reduction of water consumption; and in our environment we emphasize biodiversity.
Caring for each other
Caring for each other is the force that connects us and strengthens our mutual relationships, both internally and externally. #togetherweareanthura is more than a hashtag, it is an expression of our mutual commitment.
