PLANTEX EXPEDITIE B.V.
Plantex Expeditie B.V. traces its roots to Boskoop, a region known for horticulture, where the company was founded on August 8, 1928 as a cooperative expedition firm formed by the association of plant traders. Over the years, the business evolved, and in 1994 the cooperative structure was converted into a BV, with the expeditie activities reorganized under Plantex Expeditie B.V. This evolution reflects a long-standing specialization in the transport and logistics of plant shipments, leveraging decades of experience to support growers and traders. In 2002, Plantex expanded its capabilities with the establishment of Plantex Logistics B.V., a transport company created to deliver rapid, flexible and accurate service using its own transport resources.
Today, Plantex Expeditie B.V. remains a specialist in moving trees, plants and related agricultural products, while also handling a broad range of other goods for global transportation. The company emphasizes comprehensive logistics solutions, covering all aspects of inbound and outbound handling, expediting, transport and insurance. Its services are designed to meet the seasonal peaks typical for the horticultural sector, particularly during spring, and are primarily directed at regional growers, agricultural businesses and other wholesale partners. By offering a full spectrum of logistics capabilities, Plantex aims to serve clients with reliable, end-to-end support across multiple modalities, delivering a complete picture of the company’s service package and destinations.
Although the exact modal mix is not exhaustively detailed in available materials, the firm notes its ability to provide a wide range of services related to import, export and cross-border movements, underscoring its role as a multidisciplinary logistics partner for plant-related shipments and general goods alike. The company’s longstanding presence in the Dutch logistics landscape—now rooted in Almere—reflects a commitment to combining traditional horticultural logistics know-how with modern transportation and risk management practices. Plantex’s approach centers on coordination, expertise in handling delicate agricultural cargo, and a focus on accurate, timely delivery, supported by in-house facilities and the network required to manage complex shipping needs worldwide.
