Dümmen Orange Acquires Taiwanese Orchid Breeder

Taiwanese orchid breeder Sogo has joined the Dümmen Orange family of businesses .

Sogo will provide Dümmen Orange with a unique entry into the orchid market, while expanding the company’s offerings in tropical plants and more than doubling its tissue culture capacity.

Sogo’s activities are focused on breeding and tissue culture based propagation  of orchids for key markets like America, Brazil, Southeast Asia and Northwest Europe.

In combination with the R&D capabilities, the grower customer base and the  distribution network of Dümmen Orange this immediately creates a broader portfolio of products for growers and their customers.

Biense Visser, CEO of Dümmen Orange said the move allows the company its global footprints and further diversify its offerings. “Orchids represent an important product category in our industry with great growth  opportunities. We will continue to identify further add-ons in the product group of Tropical Plants.”
