Our team

Behind Smits Nursery is a committed team of people with a love of green. Each from their own role, but always with the same goal: to deliver top-quality trees and hedges and think along with our customers. We work together, keep the lines short and are proud of what we create together every day.

Team

What our people have to say

Innovation is one of our pillars

Jurgen de Roover

Innovation is in full swing within our company. More and more manual work is being taken over by lifting, pruning and planting machines. This makes the work lighter, more pleasant for our people and the quality better and more uniform. For the future, I see many opportunities to further increase our production capacity through various innovations.

We are most proud of our people

Johan Smits

We distinguish ourselves in the market through our sophisticated breeding methods, our international character and delivery throughout Europe. Moreover, we have all facets in-house; from production and sales to transport to the customer. But we are most proud of our employees. Thanks to their commitment and involvement, we are where we are today and we can continue to grow, innovate and become more sustainable.

Innovative in hedging plants and shaped trees

Jan van Vechel

Smits Nursery has a unique assortment, as we can supply both smaller and larger sizes. I have been in the business for more than 35 years and I am still excited to sell products, which I stand behind to the full 100%. That's what gives me energy. We provide the frames of gardens and the eye-catchers (topiaries).

Transport, service and after-sales

William Horevoorts

We have the expertise to properly transport large plants and literally deliver them to the customer's garden. That includes so much more than just loading and unloading.

As a driver, I want to offer added value to our customers. Not only the best product, but also knowledge and advice. That extra service and after-sales are highly appreciated and create trust.

The variety makes the work so much fun

Ricardo van Gool

I have been working at Smits for almost 15 years now and love working here. I am foreman of the clearing team, but I am also scheduled for pruning and planting. That variety makes the work so much fun. And it's nice that the staff get on well with each other. We have a good time together.

Passion for cultivation

Bram van Overloop

For 17 years, I have enjoyed working here. I am proud of my work and colleagues. Smits Nursery is progressive and continuously developing.

I ensure that quality is maintained. Among other things, by supervising the people in the field and taking care of the final inspection. All outgoing produce, harvested for sale, passes me first.
