This means that Veiling Rhein-Maas is still able to offer the beautiful flowers and plants of its suppliers via the auction clock, Clock Service and the Webshop. Nonetheless, we are forced to adapt our services and processes in accordance with our commitment not to have too many employees on site in Straelen-Herongen. However, Veiling Rhein-Maas is fully able to cope with this task.

Acting in this way, we try to achieve a successful and satisfying spring season together with our suppliers and customers irrespective of the current circumstances.
