Fred de Meulder B.V.

 

In 1898, Mr. Fred. de Meulder established his own business as a grower. Leveraging his extensive language skills, he quickly expanded his sales beyond the Netherlands to include France, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. By 1901, Fred. de Meulder BV was officially registered at the Chamber of Commerce as both a grower and a trader/exporter. For many years, the nursery ranked among the top 25 flower bulb growers in the Netherlands, with operations and land spanning North and South Holland. However, due to increasing mechanization in the industry, De Meulder decided to sell the tulip and hyacinth nursery in 1984.

However, the cultivation of dahlias has always remained a core focus! In 2021, De Meulder continues to grow Dahlia cuttings, tubers, young plants, and pot plants, specializing in over 145 exclusive “De Meulder” varieties. This production takes place across three locations: in the Bollenstreek (20-30 hectares), North Holland (6 hectares), and in the heart of the Aalsmeer area (a 6,000 m² greenhouse). Alongside the wholesale department, the nursery is becoming an increasingly significant part of De Meulder’s operations. With ambitious plans to expand to 50 hectares within the next five years, the company is returning to its roots—back to the basics of 1898!
