Company owners Bernard Zuidgeest and Fedor van Veen are excited to welcome Van der Knaap to Together2Grow’s board of directors considering his appointment as the next logical step in the company’s growth.

Together2Grow first emerged in 2006 when BZ Alstroemeria and Van Veen Alstroemeria announced their strategic partnership which four years later culminated in the merger of both companies.

Together2Grow is a quintessential family business that operates from three sites in Schipluiden, Poeldijk and Kwintsheul.
