Prominent’s growers

Van Adrichem Kwekerijen

Van Adrichem Kwekerijen is a family business with almost seventy years of experience. One of their two locations is situated in Westdorpe, in the Dutch province of Zeeland. At this site, they use geothermal energy and the CO₂ that is released during the production of fertiliser at a company nearby; incredibly sustainable!

De Bakker Westland

De Bakker Westland is the family business of father Frans and his two sons, Bart and Roel. The company has been based in Kwintsheul, in the Dutch Westland region, for ages. The horticultural business is over six hectares in size and employs 25 people. The permanent employees have been with the company for a long time.

Bryte

Bryte's roots are in the Dutch Westland region. The company was founded in 2019 as a result of a merger between Kwekerij Dukker and Zwinkels Tomaten. Two different family businesses that share the same DNA. For years, they have been growing tomatoes that are known for one thing only: their taste.

D.T. van Noord Tomaten

This tomato nursery in the sunny province of Zeeland, in the south of the Netherlands, specialises in growing cocktail tomatoes. In 1991, Dick van Noord started with 1 hectare of greenhouse space in Sirjansland. Since then, the horticultural company has grown into a location of 8.4 hectares where tasty vine tomatoes are grown.

Prominent Hoogerbrugge

Since 1998, the two Hoogerbrugge brothers, now the third generation, have been growing tomatoes in Lepelstraat, in the western part of Brabant. As of 1 January 2022, Prominent has a stake in Tomatenkwekerij P.N. Hoogerbrugge. This allows the grower to continue to invest in the future and Prominent to remain assured of the supply of top-quality loose tomatoes during the season.

Meer Camp

This family business is based in Made, in Brabant, and managed by the brothers Dirk Pieter and Rochus van der Meer. In an 8.2-hectare greenhouse, both medium-sized vine tomatoes and plum vine tomatoes are grown. The brothers also run an organic cultivation site together.

Lans, Gebr. A. & R. van der

Lans Tomaten is a vine tomato nursery owned by brothers René and Ariën. The company has been located on Groeneweg in's Gravenzande since it was founded by their father and uncle. In this nursery, they work day and night to produce excellent and tasty tomatoes.

Lema Tomaten

LEMA Tomaten is a true Westland company; versatile, experienced and based in Naaldwijk. The company was founded in 2006 as a joint venture between Rob van Marrewijk and Ruud Leerdam. This meticulously organised nursery grows tasty cocktail vine tomatoes on 5.5 hectares.

Marrewijk Tomaten

For several generations, this company has been owned by Jan van Marrewijk's family. It has grown into a sizable nursery with 19.4 hectares of greenhouse space. It is a real family business that specialises in tomato cultivation. The business is located at the Nieuw-Prinsenland agri-food cluster in Dinteloord.

Red Harvest

These entrepreneurs have had a taste for tomatoes for 30 years. Red Harvest is a production company that grows different types of tomatoes, with branches in De Lier (South Holland) and Middenmeer (North Holland). At Red Harvest, efficiency and quality go hand in hand.

Roots

This modern, 26-hectare tomato nursery was created following a merger of two family businesses. The Van der Knaap family from Honselersdijk and the Oussoren family from Zevenhuizen, both in the province of South Holland, have a history that dates back to the middle of the previous century. In other words, this horticultural company is genuinely built on family culture.

Schenkeveld

The family-owned business Schenkeveld is growing and currently has five sites in the Netherlands. New construction is underway in Rijsenhout and they already have cultivation sites in Westland and Midden-Delfland. For Schenkeveld, great performance and an eye for every detail are part of the process. They want to achieve the best results with as few raw materials as possible.

Solyco

This modern tomato nursery with branches in Bergschenhoek, Bleiswijk and Berkel en Rodenrijs covers 17 hectares of greenhouse space. Grower Gertjan van der Spek's mission is to cultivate tasty tomatoes for consumers all around Europe. Several tomato varieties are produced; in winter this is done with the help of grow lights.

Greenway

The Valley was created from a merger between nurseries GreenValley, Greenway, Van den Berg and Van der Voort. Four companies and three families that are even stronger together. On an area of 50 hectares in total, spread across De Lier, Vierpolders and 's-Gravenzande, from 2023 onwards, optimal use will be made of scale and cooperation.

G.J. van der Wel

For generations, the Van der Wel family has been growing fruit and vegetables on Maasdijk in 's-Gravenzande. After years of innovation, experiments and, above all, hard work, the company now has two sites that are run by GertJan van der Wel and his son Mario.

Van Wingerden

Van Wingerden Tomaten is an informal and down-to-earth company with 3.2-hectares of greenhouse space. Here, two foremen and ten flex workers work together with an average of eight students.

Gebr. Zwinkels

Gebr. Zwinkels is a third-generation family business that has its origins in the Dutch town Honselersdijk. The management now consists of Robert, Ed and Vasco. All three are currently responsible for the two production sites in the province of South Holland: one in De Lier and the other in Zevenhuizen.
