Under the leadership of brothers Gert-Jan Bac and Dico Bac, Bac Orchids has developed into a leading producer of premium Cymbidium cut flowers. From a modern cultivation area of approximately 5 hectares, the focus is on supplying high-quality Cymbidium stems distinguished by consistent quality, uniformity, and excellent vase life.
Corporate social responsibility forms an important part of the business strategy. Bac Orchids continuously invests in sustainable production processes, including the efficient use of a combined heat and power (CHP) system for the energy supply and heating of multiple greenhouses, a battery for energy storage, and the application of biological crop protection. This combination of craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability seamlessly aligns with the ambition to responsibly produce premium quality for the national and international market.
From his profession, Gert-Jan Bac was able to formulate the right answer to the question:
What is the photosynthetic efficiency of the tomato variety Macxize at an insolation of 500 micromol?.
Sendot specialises in plant technology, water technology and seed technology. The Sendot sensors we use for plant technology recently measured an average photosynthetic efficiency of 55 % in the Macxize tomato variety. As a result, Gert-Jan Bac received the appropriate Lego orchid.
