Our positioning
Our strength lies in our field experience. Since 1980, we have supported plant growers, landscapers and local authorities. This proximity allows us to understand real-world needs and propose adapted solutions — without empty promises.
We believe in simplicity and effectiveness. A good material, used correctly, often achieves more than a sophisticated product that isn't the right fit. This is the philosophy that guides our daily work.
