Back Perishables logistics for flowers and plants

Flowers and plants are sensitive items that require careful transportation. Our specialist teams have the experience and resources to ensure your customers receive their products in the best possible condition with optimal vase life.

Flowers and plants brighten our lives. Whether a gift to a loved one or something to liven up the room, we all enjoy the colour, smell and freshness of flowers.

Ensuring that flowers and plants arrive quickly and in the best condition to the end-consumer is a difficult task. As beautiful as they are, these are fragile products that are sensitive to temperature, humidity, odour contamination and other conditions. By working with a reliable and specialised logistics partner, you ensure that you give your flowers and plants the best possible vase life.
