Flowers are grown all over the world. They also travel all over the world to reach their destinations. Many of these voyages can be avoided with smarter logistics, saving not only time and the environment, but by shortening the supply chain more efficiently. The Octoflor team does exactly this... and more good news: they are a friendly and approachable team, just like you and me, who you can easily reach out to.
This is their how, why, and what.
Direct Delivery From Kenya
From Mt. Kenya to the Alps, to the Australian outback and the dunes in the Middle East, whether it’s all across Europe or to the rice fields in China, to the tapas bars in Madrid or all the way to Mt. Fuji….Octoflor delivers flowers to your doorstep.
The name 'Octoflor' is derived from the octopus, the super flexible sea creature that can change shape, form, and color at will, ever adapting to the changing surroundings and circumstances. An octopus is curious, inquisitive, intelligent, and creative. With multiple hearts and brains and eight tentacles, it can stretch out and multi-task independently. The company Octoflor has all these qualities as well because it wants to adapt to your demands without compromising on quality and reliability.
A Wide Assortment Fairtrade Certified of African Flowers
Octoflor sources a wide range of flowers with the best growers in East Africa to fit a vast range of customers, each one with its own needs and challenges. The company has had a foot on the ground for many years in Kenya and knows where to get the cream of the crop. Long-term relationships with its growers, big and small, have helped establish a year-round constant and reliable availability of the finest flowers.
