Transport of flowers and plants to Spain and France is growing

24 April 2025

VDH offers daily groupage transport on fixed routes

The demand for groupage transport of flowers and plants to Southern Europe is increasing. More and more traders want smaller shipments, delivered more frequently. This is not a problem for VDH.

With their own trailers, regular drivers, and smart combinations on fixed routes, VDH, as an international transport company, is responding to this growth.

“We see volumes increasing,” says Maurice Nagtegaal from BU Transport. “We respond immediately, without compromising on quality or speed. Customers want certainty, and we ensure their flowers and plants arrive on time every day and in top condition.”

Transport of flowers and plants to Spain and France

Every day trucks depart for Spain and France. Fresh from the auction, filled with flowers and plants, to large distribution centers or directly to the customer.

Flower transport to Spain? Plant transport to France? VDH knows the route. Marco Nagtegaal: “We have a special team of drivers who only drive to Spain and a fixed schedule that manages everything tightly. This makes our service fast and reliable. Whether it's one pallet or dozens of shipments, we deliver. Always.”

Fresh in two climate zones

Flowers cool at +5°C. Plants warm at +17°C. In one trip, in one trailer. VDH's bi-temperature vehicles make it possible. Cleverly arranged, different compartments, and always live insight via the customer portal. “We ensure the product stays as fresh on the road as when it leaves the greenhouse,” says Maurice. “No concessions. Everything revolves around freshness.” This makes VDH the specialist in flower and plant transport to Spain and France.

We don't just say it, we do it too

“Sometimes a delivery is challenging. Still, we go. We rarely say ‘no’ to a customer,” says Marco. “Going that extra mile always pays off. Customers know they can count on us, especially when things get tense.” VDH is flexible. Whether you deliver daily or have a last-minute shipment. The team is available 24/7 and ready to act.

Bigger than you think

VDH transports more than you think and farther than you expect.
“From Aalsmeer to southern Spain and everything in between. From a single Danish trolley to full truckloads. From small garden centres with tailgate deliveries to large retailers,” says Maurice.
“With our cross-dock locations in Moerdijk, Burgos, Barcelona and Valencia, we are flexible and well-organised, so we can completely unburden our clients. And we do that both chilled and dry. The combination of our own equipment and smart chartering makes us scalable — not just for flowers and plants, but also for vegetables, fruit and more.”
