TOKYO, Japan, January 15, 2025: A new year brings global opportunities. Last fall, Suntory Flowers Limited acquired European partner MNP (Moerheim New Plant) in The Netherlands as part of its strategic initiative to expand business in Europe. This new venture will enhance Suntory’s business in bedding plants, as well as fresh-cut flowers. MNP is now officially Suntory Flowers Europe B.V.
The MNP partnership began in the late 1980s with the launch of Surfinia® - the first petunias from cuttings. These vigorous petunias ignited a gardening boom, changing the landscapes of European towns. Ever since then, MNP has played a leading role in introducing and branding Surfinia® and many more varieties, achieving tremendous success.
This experience and track record have established MNP as a pioneer in the European vegetatively propagated plant business, playing a crucial role in the development of diverse varieties. Together, Suntory Flowers and MNP have continued to bring fresh winds to the floriculture industry by developing and branding unique products, such as Sundaville®/Sun Parasol® and Senetti®.
Looking forward to the new venture, Suntory Flowers President Yasunori Yomo says, “With the launch of Suntory Flowers Europe, we aim to accelerate our foreign business operations, focusing on Europe, our most important region. More than ever, I believe that Suntory’s flowers can decorate and change the landscape of Europe’s cities.”
MNP’s Jeroen Egtberts is now president of Suntory Flowers Europe. Emphasizing the integration’s significance, he says, “This union marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. This is the natural evolution of a long-lasting and fruitful partnership, years of support and commitment from all our stakeholders – our employees, partners and customers alike. We remain fully dedicated to delivering the quality and innovation that have defined MNP for decades, with a firm commitment to future growth and prosperity for all involved.”
Together, Suntory Flowers Limited and Suntory Flowers Europe B.V. are committed to a mission “to bring excitement and wonder to people through floriculture” by delivering beautiful plants to people all over the world through innovative product development and market expansion, establishing leadership in the European bedding plant and cut flowers segment.
The leadership team also includes Munenori Inagaki, who manages Suntory Flowers’ European business. The new website will be suntoryflowerseurope.com.
You may recognize us from participating in last year’s IPM under the name MNP/Suntory. Now, following years of successful collaboration between Moerheim New Plant (NL) and Suntory Flowers Limited (JP), we are pleased to announce the establishment of Suntory Flowers Europe. Headquartered in Leimuiderbrug, this new company will serve as the central hub for the European horticultural market, managing the distribution and promotion of Suntory Flowers Ltd’s renowned genetics, including varieties such as Surfinia®, Sundaville®, Senetti®, and others.
This union marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our company. It represents the natural evolution of a long-standing and fruitful partnership, built on years of support and commitment from all our stakeholders — our employees, partners, and customers alike. As we move forward, we remain fully dedicated to maintaining the high standards of quality and innovation that have defined Moerheim New Plant for decades, while embracing new opportunities for growth and progress.
"We are committed to ensuring the continued success and prosperity of all those involved, and we invite you to reach out and explore how we can collaborate to drive growth and innovation together," said Jeroen Egtberts, President of Suntory Flowers Europe.
