Our Dreams
Over the past 42 years,2 we have cultivated dreams and flowers. We believe in the power of flowers to express emotions and bring hope from one place to another. Since 1982, we have focused our flower production on the east of Antioquia,an ideal location for cultivating quality flowers. We have always believed that doing things differently generates unique results.
Our Flowers
To let our flowers speak for themselves about their origin, we provide constant, environmentally responsible care. Our flowers are sealed with thousands of smiles and the certainty of growing in a place where people are our greatest treasure.
Through Time
Through flowers, we tell stories. We understand the sentimental value of a flower.
Por eso, con un alto nivel de responsabilidad, hemos desarrollado una forma productiva, innovadora y consciente para transportar todas nuestras flores por el mundo.
En los últimos dieciséis años, hemos enviado más de 12,040 contenedores llenos de flores alrededor del mundo. Hemos persistido en nuestros ideales para preservar de esta why our flowers reach farther each time.
Capiro fue fundada bajo el nombre de «Geranios». Nuestro principal propósito era cultivar y comercializar productos hortícolas.
We started producing flowers such as roses, carnations, and chrysanthemums.
We acquired the company Flores El Capiro and decided that this would be our name from then on.
We started with three new production centers, representing growth for our company.
- Nos vimos impulsados a crear nuestro producto estrella: el «pompón tipo Capiro», y a ampliar nuestro portafolio con bouquets.
- Comenzamos a trabajar para mejorar nuestras prácticas diarias y certificarnos en diferentes normas internacionales que promueven el cultivo seguro y sostenible.
- Creamos el Fondo de Empleados ¨FOEC¨, para brindar a nuestros empleados la oportunidad de ahorrar para estudiar, viajar y mejorar el bienestar de nuestros colaboradores y sus familias.
- Comenzamos a investigar y a crear nuevos procesos logísticos, obteniendo como resultado el envío de nuestros primeros contenedores marítimos cargados de flores al Reino Unido y Chile.
We started shipping our flowers in maritime containers to Australia, which was another significant achievement for our company.
We won the "Gold" award in the Cut Flowers category and the "Gold Rose" for the best producer of the year, awarded by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH).
We decided to grow and surpass 100 hectares under greenhouse.
We celebrated our 40th anniversary, attended by the President of Colombia, Iván Duque. There, we were awarded the Order of Business Merit.
