Veiling Rhein-Maas has already produced 30 `supplier in the spotlight´ videos since 2014. The videos are quite popular on YouTube and have been clicked about 5,000 times on average so far.
“We always work with the same growers, so that during the production we have equivalent plants. In this way we can deliver a high quality that is also recognized by our customers. These are products that are saleable for a long time and also last a long time with the consumer,” explains René Berkvens. With great passion he and his wife Joletta run Beblo Arrangementen is Asten (NL). Together with about 20 employees they produce indoor and outdoor flower and plant arrangements on 1,700 m². In our new `supplier in the spotlight´ video we introduce you to Beblo Arrangementen.
Production process
The arrangements are produced year-round and are auctioned 52 weeks per year on all five auction days at the clock in Straelen-Herongen. In addition, it is possible to order everything per load carrier or lot via Clock pre sales. To reach the desired quality the arrangements are compiled at production tables. The arrangements can be sold by the customers of Veiling Rhein-Maas – especially garden centers and florists – directly in their stores and are therefore very popular. The importance of good product photos is self-evident for René and Joletta Berkvens, so that there are always up-to-date product photos.
Sustainability
In order to provide the company with sustainable energy, solar panels were recently installed on the roof of Beblo Arrangements. All pots and pallets used during the production process go back to the suppliers or are recycled.
Collaboration
René Berkvens is very pleased about the collaboration with Veiling Rhein-Maas: “Around 85% of our production is sold through Veiling Rhein-Maas. The products are auctioned five days a week and I have good contacts, especially with the Clock Service employees who have heart for the business and go the extra mile for us."
