About us

Hortus was founded in 2005 by three partners and has combined the best of both worlds from the start: that of the grower and that of the supplier.

Hortus Supplies International, opgericht in 2005
Ever since the start of the company, Hortus has combined the best of both worlds: that of the grower and that of the supplier. In their daily practice, Richard Heemskerk, who is from a growers family, and Nico van der Spek, a farmer's son and working for a supplier, saw several points for improvement for their industry.

Mission / Vision

Our mission at Hortus: rather than supplying products, we deliver growth. We do this by treating our customers as we would like to be treated ourselves – and by always contributing ideas and suggesting improvements to the business operations of our customers, with a view to boosting their turnover. At Hortus, we look positively to the future, and are convinced that we will work with our customers towards increasingly sustainable greenhouse horticulture. As an added value and advisory organisation, we go hand in hand with our growers, so that we can both continue to grow.

We work with you!

Hortus is a one-stop shop where growers such as yourself can find absolutely everything to grow your flowers, plants or fruits. But we go the extra mile. Our strength is that we work with you, and come up with products and ideas that really add something. This will improve your cultivation or ensure that you can grow more sustainably, for example. We try to unburden you completely in this area. All our employees are specialists in their chosen field and are happy to actively transfer their knowledge and expertise to you. Moreover, we have a real grower’s mentality. We do what we say and vice versa.  It is that simple.
