Syngenta Flowers has a long history in the ornamentals industry, dating back to the creation of Sluis & Groot in Andijk, The Netherlands, in 1867. Over a century later, we bring together the strengths and experience we’ve gained from our origins in companies from around the world: Sluis & Groot, The Netherlands; Fischer, Germany; and Goldsmith and Yoder, the United States of America.
