Blooming SINCE 2005, achieving a success story in floriculture.
OUR NAME
The idea of naming the company 'Flores La Unión' arose from a business model centered around the collection of flowers from various suppliers.
While not a unique enterprise but rather a sole proprietorship, the name reflected the UNION of multiple suppliers.
The company was established as a family business, with the owners and other family members participating both in the administrative aspects and in the provision of flowers.
FOUNDATION AND OUR BEGINNINGS
The Flores La Unión estate was founded on December 20, 2005, 18 years ago, by a family dedicated to flower cultivation and greenhouse construction.
Before establishing the company, the family engaged in flower cultivation and served as local suppliers for an export company. It was here that they gained experience and gradually analyzed the creation of their own enterprise, envisioning the development of more individuals with this potential.
In this way, they saw a significant opportunity not only for themselves but for the entire community. They decided to cultivate their carnations independently, receiving full cooperation from the local community.
They collaborated with other local suppliers, marking the beginning of their major project with the export company FLORES LA UNIÓN.
GROWING TOGETHER
Initially, Flores La Unión had limited production and collaborated with five carnation suppliers, exporting around thirty to forty boxes per month.
Currently, they work with more than 300 suppliers, all from the local community, showcasing the growth over the years and the support for their people.
When hiring staff, they always give preference to local individuals, as Flores La Unión is now a recognized company in the market for the assistance it provides to its surroundings, both economically and socially.
Processes have improved, with high-caliber professionals joining the company and bringing a new perspective.
EVENTS
In addition to their focus on flower production and export, La Unión has actively participated in events and fairs related to the sector.
This has allowed them to showcase their products, establish contacts, and stay updated on the latest trends and technologies in the industry.
As part of their growth and commitment, they now participate in major fairs like Flor Ecuador, and even travel to gain recognition in other markets.
Their desire is to show the world that the essence of their culture has not been lost— their customs, clothing, festivities, but above all, the mutual support between the company's leadership and the community.
This is where Flores La Unión makes a difference.
