florexpo europe 2012-2013 perennial

3

To our friends,

We take great pride in sharing with you our 2012-2013 Catalog. Specially compiled for our growing and loyal customer base

in both North America and Europe, this year’s catalog has a wide range of varieties, including some carefully selected new

additions we are certain will increase business opportunities for our customers.

We continue to develop our relationship with leading breeders around the world, who recognize Florexpo’s additional value as a

“breeder neutral” grower. Our aim of the last 25 years is increasingly becoming a reality: to become the global producer of high-

quality perennial and annual cuttings.

This coming season will also benefit from our having achieved several milestones in the integration of our systems and

operations with our strategic partners in North America. Our relationship of many years with McHutchison and Gloeckner will

continue to achieve new heights. At the same time during our first year of partnership with Ball, all necessary steps have been

taken to consolidate a seamless relationship, enabling us to look forward to what will be an extraordinary season and many

years into the future.

In Europe, our company Florexpo Europe continued to service a growing base of customers. Our sales in Europe more than

doubled last season, and our projections show we will double them again in the coming season. Seamless logistics and superb

quality have gone a long way to consolidate our footing in Europe, where we have exciting plans for the future.

Back at the farm in Paraíso, Costa Rica, we have again heightened our quality standards. At the same time we have also

reviewed and upgraded safety protocols. Together with a new packing facility coming on line this coming season, all of this will

provide you with a superb product.

All in all, we are very much looking forward to this new season. Our aim is to provide you, our customer, with the products you

need to grow your business. That would be a success we greatly anticipate celebrating together.

We look forward to another successful year with you, and we thank you for your continued support.

Best personal regards,

Fernando Altmann

President
