About us

1982: the company was founded under the name of "Geranios" by a group of visionary investors. Our main purpose was to grow and market commercialize horticultural products.

1985: we started producing flowers such as roses, carnation flowers and chrysanthemums.

1997: we acquired the company Flores El Capiro and decided that it would be our name from that point.

2001: we started with 3 new production centers, which represented growth for our company and gave us a new look.

2006: when entering to compete with the Dutch companies in England, we were driven to create our flagship product: the "Capiro-type pompom", and to expand our portfolio with bouquets. We achieved this thanks to our CEO, who in addition to being a leader in Flores El Capiro, is a leader in the industry.

2006: looking to be a socially, environmentally and economically responsible company, we started working to improve our daily practices, this helped us to certify ourselves in different international standards that work in a safe and sustainable way.

2008: in order to improve the quality of life of our employees, we created the Employee Fund named FOEC. Through this fund we offer our employees the opportunity to save for their studies, traveling and improving their wellbeing and that of their families.

2008: this year we began to investigate and create new logistics processes, obtaining as a result the shipment of our first maritime container loaded with flowers to the United Kingdom and Chile.

2013: we started sending our flowers in sea containers to Australia, which meant another great achievement as a company.

2017: we won the "Gold" award in the Cut Flowers category and the "Gold Rose" for the best producer of the year, granted by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH).

2020: we made the decision to grow to over 100 hectares under greenhouse.

2022: We celebrated our 40th anniversary, where the President of Colombia, Iván Duque, attended and awarded us with the Order of Business Merit.

Paradigms in our industry must be broken, questioning them in order to make changes and innovate.

• Today we are leaders in Colombia in the production of Chrysantemums, with more than 40 years of experience growing satisfaction.
• Flores El Capiro is also well known for shipping freshly cut flowers, with over 12 years of experience sending refrigerated containers around the world. Sea transportation has a lower carbon footprint and less negative impact in the environment.

Did you know that a container sent to England takes 15 days from port to port?

• We care about the environment, that’s why we work each day in order to reduce the use of pesticides, replacing them with biorationals that protect our flowers without making any harm, while controlling bad plagues and protecting species like bees.

• We use LED lightbulbs as a source of artificial light, in order to reduce energy consumption.
• Our investigation lab is in charge of frequently studying different elements in order to include them in our processes.
