Flourishing beyond borders: Exporting Dutch flower technology with Bercomex

Project Summary

Founded in 1926, Bercomex specialises in the development and production of machines that automate key stages in the flower processing chain. From cutting and grading to bunching and packaging, its systems handle thousands of flowers per hour with high precision. 

These machines allow flower producers to standardise quality, reduce waste and improve operational efficiency. Critical factors in an industry where speed and consistency determine success. Today, Bercomex equipment is used not only in the Netherlands, but also in major flower-producing countries such as Japan, Ecuador and Colombia, as well as in markets across Europe, Asia and the United States. 

However, exporting this type of machinery comes with challenges. Bercomex delivers high-value, tailor-made systems that require upfront investment and often come with longer payment terms. For many international buyers, especially in emerging markets, access to financing can be a limiting factor. 

Through Invest International’s export finance solutions, Bercomex is able to offer its customers flexible payment structures, such as supplier or buyer credits. In combination with export credit insurance from Atradius Dutch State Business and executed by OHV these solutions reduce risks and bridge the gap between delivery and payment. Enabling Bercomex to expand its global footprint while its customers can invest in advanced Dutch technology.
