OUR PASSION

We are pioneers & trendsetters in breeding, selecting, marketing, and licensing innovative & superior quality bedding plants. Our passion is to give the world unique and high-quality indoor & outdoor plants which make the modern consumer happy and the world more colourful. Besides that, we want to create new markets, instead of supplementing existing ones. How do we do this?

We sell our genetics to growers and propagators under license as widely as possible, so everyone can become our customer (licensee) or even a breeder (propagators). Because we don’t have our own production of cuttings we can fully focus on breeding, selection and effective brand marketing of the unique properties and quality with end consumers in our mind.

That’s why we can market our genetics (years) earlier than other breeders. Our challenge is therefore to conquer the market with a small team of passionate professionals as effectively and originally as possible. By being the first on the market, a sophisticated marketing vision, a professional dealer network of healthy cuttings, passionate growers making ultimate quality finished plants and wide sales channels, we can build great brand awareness and quickly gain large market shares.

“We fully focus on breeding, selection & effective brand marketing.”

OUR HERITAGE

26 BEDDING PLANTS 2023 / 2024

GAMECHANGERS FROM SEED TO CUTTINGS

Through the export and trade in Japan with Keisei Rose Nurseries, in 1987 we came in contact with the company Suntory®, which was mainly known for its whiskeys, liqueurs, beers and soft drinks, but they also had a small plant breeding section together with Keisei Rose Nurseries. They were looking for a trusted partner with knowledge about the European market to introduce their genetics. With a lot of interest, Theo Ruys and the current CEO of MNP, Jeroen Egtberts, flew to Japan to see their varieties. This is where they saw the future of (bedding) plants.

They discovered a totally new Petunia variety in their flowering fields with amazing flowers and growth characteristics. In 1988 Jeroen pitched the European marketing plan for this new trailing Petunia species and called it Surfinia®. The introduction in Europe began, along with the opening of a new business unit called Moerheim New Plant (MNP) in 1989.

After thorough tests and selections, we introduced the Surfinia® Purple in 1992. This was the world’s very first (trailing) Petunia from cuttings, which turned out to be a global revolution. Surfinia® Purple would be the best-selling Petunia worldwide for a long time. Alongside this success, we obtained the future rights for test, selection, marketing & sales of all Suntory® genetics in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa as head licensor.

With our extensive cooperation, we have completely turned the ornamental plant sector upside down. It was now a foregone conclusion for many propagators to only set up productions with young plants from cuttings. From this moment on seed raised Petunia’s got a strong competitor.

It's interesting to know if you are or have been working within the floriculture industry, that many international propagators and/or breeders as you know today would not have existed or have been so successful without the discovery, evolution and bold introduction of this first Petunia from cuttings by MNP / Suntory in 1990.

Since the introduction of Surfinia® 30 years ago,other milestones have followed. We’ve introduced the first mini-petunia or Calibrachoa (Million Bells®), the first Pericallis (cineraria) from cuttings named Senetti®, the first Red Mandevilla (Sundaville® Red), and the further innovation of the Mandevilla/Dipladenia group as a pot & tub plant. The first compact and early flowering pink and white Euphorbia (poinsettias) with Princettia®. We innovated the Scaevola market with the new Surdiva® varieties. The latest introduction and revelation of the large-flowered, compact strawflowers (Xerochrysum Bracteatum) as a pot plant (Granvia®). Year by year we are enlarging all the brand's collections with unmatched quality and innovative varieties.

JOINED FORCES

From 2021 we are proud to sell our commercial services and products in Europe, the Middle East and Africa under the name MNP / Suntory! This commercial move allows us to communicate our corporate message in a stronger and more efficient way.

By working together intensively for over three decades, MNP (the Netherlands) & Suntory Flowers Ltd. (Japan) became inseparable. The partnership we have, moved from a strong collaboration to a solid cooperation.

It's the cultural strengths that connect and reinforce us. The Japanese innovativeness and the immense sense of detail in combination with the Dutch effectiveness and free trading spirit has been the formula for success for so long but the most important thing is that we’re honest, loyal and respect each other. This is how we keep building a stronger and more recognizable brand for the future.

“Loyalty, trust & honesty are the most important ingredients for our success.”

GROWING TOGETHER

With our business model we sell genetics under license (PBR) mainly for vegetative plant propagation (cuttings) to specialized companies, so called propagators. Due to this model, we have grown into experts and pioneers in the field of high-quality summer bloomers.

This model offers many advantages as we mentioned before. Another big advantage is that with a wider distribution of our products we can get a more effective market coverage and also healthy business competition arises, which has a positive effect on the sales numbers and prices to remain relatively stable and low.

Fruitful partnerships

To be successful as a breeder we need to bring the plants to the people. Of course, we can’t do this alone! That’s why we see every company in the supply chain as a stakeholder. Every link within it is equally important. Therefore, we’re incredibly proud and grateful that we have already worked, for over 30 years, with the largest and most distinguished propagators & growers worldwide.

KEEP PUSHING

Our genetics are top-notch, and all our 'power' brands are market leaders in their own category. Mainly because we have created them ourselves, changed it or evolved it for the better.

Now, it’s time to take the next step. How can we make the transition from distinguished trademarks to recognizable consumer brands and stimulate the marketing of our new genetics in the next 10 years?

We want to increase the brand awareness and visibility of our quality brands by linking them together and being a connecting factor throughout the supply chain. Therefore, we need a proactive and creative market approach. We will move from push to a push-pull strategy to broaden our playing field. Our communication has to reach not only propagators and growers but also exporters, wholesalers, (online) retailers and even consumers.

PUSH & PULL

To implement the new push-pull strategy efficiently and effectively, we developed a totally new corporate “house of brands”' proposition, in order to reposition us for better recognizability, memorability and therefore a higher brand value.

With this unique and distinctive proposition, we want to connect all our standalone trademarks. Therefore, they will strengthen each other and our corporate position within the floricultural market. Eventually, we can market our new genetics faster & more efficiently and make our trademarks more visible and recognizable on store shelves. This brings us a step closer to our passion, which is creating unique plants to make consumers happy and the world more colourful.
