The company

Since Jan­u­ary 2017 Lap­pen (Ger­man: Baum­schule Lap­pen) has been under­go­ing a dra­mat­ic process of renew­al and is trans­form­ing itself more vig­or­ous­ly into a cus­tomer-ori­ent­ed ser­vice com­pa­ny. The “new”  Lap­pen tree nurs­ery is invest­ing in its suc­cess­ful cor­po­rate cul­ture: since 2017 new employ­ees have been engaged, the shrubs have been retrained and thou­sands of new trees prop­a­gat­ed and grown to usable size.

The pro­tect­ed loca­tion on the Low­er Rhine Embay­ment is excel­lent­ly suit­ed as a loca­tion for a tree nurs­ery. The rea­sons for this are the cli­mate, the soil and the loca­tion in the cen­tre of Europe. An opti­mum cli­mate pre­vails in the Low­er Rhine region: it not only ensures con­tin­u­ous and healthy plant growth, but also guar­an­tees an almost unin­ter­rupt­ed sup­ply of trees in winter.

The soil in the Low­er Rhine region, togeth­er with the eco­log­i­cal cul­ti­va­tion mea­sures employed by the Lap­pen tree nurs­ery, pro­motes a healthy root sys­tem – the basis for good root­ing and con­tin­u­ous growth. Fur­ther­more, the geo­graph­ic loca­tion offers short sup­ply routes to the plants’ destinations.

Lap­pens’ pro­duc­tion com­plies with the FLL qual­i­ty reg­u­la­tions. The tree nurs­ery assumes respon­si­bil­i­ty for the future by ensur­ing sus­tain­abil­i­ty with­in the com­pa­ny. It is MPS‑A cer­ti­fied (the best pos­si­ble rat­ing) under the num­ber 803624. The company’s oper­a­tions  exceed all of the require­ments of the Ger­man Fed­er­al Nature Con­ser­va­tion Act  regard­ing the wide selec­tion of plants with cer­ti­fied proof of ori­gin from the var­i­ous dif­fer­ent habitats.
