We are
Nijssen Jr.
We are a leading full-service flower export company specialised in cut flowers. Our company is based in Aalsmeer, in the heart of the flower sector: Royal FloraHolland.
After more than 34 years in the old auction building, in 2002 we moved to our new location at VBA-Zuid. Here we now have an automated operating space of over 5000 m2, spacious office facilities and a fully modern KOA room (dealing-room) with connections to all leading auctions.
We directly import products from abroad. Due to its favourable location close to Schiphol, it is profitable for us to order from growers in countries such as Colombia, Ecuador and South Africa. In doing so, we serve our customers with a wide and fresh range of flowers at a very competitive price.
