Press release: Evanthia Flowers B.V. and Evanthia Tropical B.V.
Evanthia strengthens growth foundation by splitting into two specialized companies
Evanthia, the Dutch specialist in breeding, production and sales of floriculture crops, is taking an important step in its further growth and professionalization. After twelve years of strong development and international expansion, the company splits into two independent companies: Evanthia Flowers B.V. and Evanthia Tropical B.V.

This step marks a new phase in Evanthia's strategic growth. In recent years, the organization has developed into a versatile player with a broad portfolio of cut flowers, flowering pot plants and tropical plants. With customers in more than 60 countries and a continuous expansion of the product range, this growth requires more focus, efficiency and market-oriented control.
“The activities within Flowers and Tropical each have their own dynamics, customer approach and logistical chain. By positioning both divisions independently, we create space for further specialization, acceleration and customer focus,” says Henk Jacobs, CEO of Evanthia.
Two companies, one vision
The current Evanthia B.V. will continue under the name Evanthia Tropical B.V., with a focus on the sourcing, production and delivery of tropical plants and seeds.
The activities of the Flowers division, focused on breeding cut flowers and flowering pot plants from seeds, are housed in the new company Evanthia Flowers B.V.
Both companies will continue to work together under the shared vision:
“Together, we lay the foundation, from seed to success.”
Targeted growth and innovation
With this structural reinforcement, Evanthia is preparing for the next growth phase. Both Flowers and Tropical will have the space to further develop within their own market — with a focused commercial focus, international expansion and continuous investment in innovation, breeding and sourcing.
“Our organization is growing in size, but also in maturity. This step allows us to serve our customers even better, switch faster and further strengthen the unique value of our brands,” says the management.
Both companies will present themselves together at the upcoming trade shows:
IPM Essen 2026 (DE) — January 27 to 30
IPM Beijing 2026 (CH) — April 10 to 12, 2026
Flower Trials Westland 2026 (NL) — June 9 to 12

Evanthia 12.5 year anniversary
Since its inception, Evanthia has focused on developing distinctive varieties, sourcing tropical seeds and supporting growers worldwide with high-quality cultivation and market knowledge. Through a combination of breeding knowledge, market orientation and close cooperation with customers, the company has built up a strong position within the international floriculture sector in a relatively short period of time.
In recent years, Evanthia has further developed its activities within two specialized divisions: Flowers and Tropical. At Flowers, the company mainly focuses on cut flowers and flowering pot plants from seeds for professional growers. The Tropical division focuses on tropical crops from seed and tissue culture for the production of young green plants and the sale of seeds to pot growers. The organizational focus provided enables Evanthia to further expand the two market segments in a targeted manner.
The company grew in a big way. The team was expanded to include specialists in breeding, product development, sales and marketing. At the same time, Evanthia continued to invest in innovation, international cooperation and the development of new varieties and concepts that meet the needs of growers and the market.
The 12.5 year anniversary is a moment to reflect on the development of the company and the people and partners, including customers and suppliers, who have contributed to it. Throughout the year, Evanthia will pay attention to this at various times, both internally and externally. For example, the anniversary will be celebrated in April with a party for all employees, in addition to other activities and communications.
