In January 2020, Anthura won the coveted ‘Gold Rose’ award, presented by Royal FloraHolland CEO, Steven van Schilfgaarde, at the AIPH IGOTY Awards Ceremony at IPM Essen, Germany. The breeder was also awarded Gold in the ‘Young Plants’ category and Gold in the ‘Sustainability’ category.
Iwan van der Knaap, Anthura’s Director, said: “Winning the Gold Rose Award and the Sustainability Award was a significant recognition for Anthura as well as for the entire horticultural sector. Especially the international confirmation that we are on the right track as a company is very valuable to us.”
Based in the Netherlands, Anthura is known as a worldwide specialist in anthuriums and orchids. As a breeder and propagator, this organisation is continually working to develop new techniques, stimulate entrepreneurship and make the process chain more sustainable.
