Family Business

The 5 S’s

It was nearly a century ago when our great-grandfather began growing lettuce and cucumbers. In 1978 the Stolk family shifted to plants, before moving on to focus exclusively on Anthuriums.

What we represent

Now, forty years later, with all the knowledge handed down from generation to generation, we are the number one specialist in the field of Anthuriums, cultivated with utmost respect for the environment and packaged with the greatest possible care and efficiency. As the Stolk Brothers, we embody our values, the 5 S’s: Sustainable, Superior, Sympathetic, Sophisticated and Solid.

SUSTAINABLE

ECO-FRIENDLY

Eco-friendly is the only way to go – that’s what we say.  We are always looking for effective solutions to minimise the burden on the environment.

SUPERIOR

SPECIALIST

We invest in everything that can help make our products and logistics the best in the world. In our assortment, too, we focus on the highest possible quality.

SYMPATHETIC

CONNECTED

We are connected with every link in the chain, from breeding to retail. Keeping a sharp eye on developing trends, the consumer’s wishes are our command.

SOPHISTICATED

UNIQUE

We offer top quality, and only top quality. We compose our exclusive assortment with great attention to detail, with products that stand out for their exceptionally long lives, variety, and beauty.

SOLID

CRAFTSMANSHIP

We represent pure traditional skill, as well as innovation. Our breeding expertise has been handed down within our family business since 1925, and we seamlessly combine the wisdom of the past with pioneering techniques.
