Vilosa – Growing delight
Kalanchoë, Celosia, Chrysant, and Princettia; products that bring us joy and we want to spread happiness with. Growing delight, as we cultivate beautiful plants. Potted plants that with their colors and unique shapes are a feast for the eyes and have an easy-going character due to their strong quality. To continue innovating, there’s a lot involved in growing these products. The love for the plants and the authentic character of our company, combined with a modern automated nursery, allows us to deliver the very best quality. The customer is king for us, we’re happy to think along and always work customer-focused and flexible. This allows us to serve both large retail customers and niche customers with special requests. We’re also known as the experts in the field of Kalanchoë, a title we’re proud of! In addition to focusing on the very best quality products and a wide range of services, our goal is to give the customer a choice in a unique and extensive range. So, within the Kalanchoë assortment, we deliver different types and sizes, but we’re also known for our Kalanchoë Specialties and the different colors of Celosia.
The name Vilosa has existed since 2018, when two existing family businesses merged and a thriving collaboration emerged. The foundation: two driven Kalanchoë specialists with the same vision and a deep-rooted love for cultivation. The result: a flourishing collaboration as one company through combined efforts. A nursery with ambition, where the best quality plants are grown using the craftsmanship of yesteryear and the technology of today.

Duurzaamheid
Our ambition is to produce high-quality plants that make everyone happy
With everyone we mean not only the consumer, but also the world and our employees. We therefore take sustainability and environmental friendliness very seriously. We generate part of our own energy, for which we use a combined heat and power system. This contributes to the heating of the crop, but also to the electricity for the lighting. We also actively reuse CO2. The environmental certificates that Vilosa has obtained show that we consistently apply sustainability within our business operations and that we grow a clean product. Our certificates are:
- MPS-ABC, a unique environmental yardstick to monitor business operations. Vilosa is MPS-A certified, which means that our organization is the most environmentally friendly.
- MPS-GAP, this is a certificate especially for companies that supply supermarkets and retailers with which traceability, safety and hygiene can be demonstrated.
- MPS-Socially Qualified, there are also requirements in the field of health, safety and working conditions. Vilosa ensures good working conditions, which means we are also certified in this area.
- MPS-ProductProof participant, a system whereby registration can be used to demonstrate that certain active substances have not been used in cultivation.
- PlanetProof is a quality mark for more sustainably grown products. Vilosa meets the non-statutory requirements for cleaner air, fertile soil, good water quality, more nature on the farm and circular waste processing and recycling. This is how we are ‘on the way to PlanetProof’!
- Grasp, which shows that Vilosa is a good employer and meets the highest requirements for the well-being, health, safety and remuneration of its employees
