After one hundred years, it’s not easy to write our company presentation. Even if it’s just a few lines, we have to admit that stopping to reflect on a century of Cooperative activities is a an awe inspiring and humbling experience. But perhaps this is the best possible approach that we partners can take in relation to a company that, day after day and year after year, has been sustained and nurtured with our work, our collective commitment and our constant dedication.
The achievement of this one hundred year milestone is owed, in great part, to the essential human resources who have pursued the goals and ethical values of professional growth and cooperation, even at the cost of sacrificing the interests of the individual subsidiaries.
Today, Vivai Cooperativi can count on the support of 15 member producers who, in turn, are the proprietors of 15 respective nurseries, for a total expanse of 250 hectares of open field cultivation.
Over 500,000 plants, in 120 varieties, are produced each year. We cultivate 20,000 container trees and export about 30 percent of our overall production.
And if 100 years of history cannot be seen as an assurance of reliability, please feel free to visit our facility in Canneto sull’Oglio, the heart and soul of the PlantaRegina nursery district, an official Institution that has recently been recognized by the Region of Lombardy.
