Baxevanis Plants

The history of the family business begins in 1922 with Athanasios Baxevanis, who came to Greece as a refugee after the Asia Minor Disaster. His love for flowers was the comfort for all that he and his family suffered from the uprooting. In 1960 he started dealing exclusively with Ornamental Plants. The baton of the business is taken over by his son Gavriil, who has been in charge since the early 1970s and continues his father's activities. He creates a greenhouse in Drama, while in 1976 he builds the first glass-enclosed greenhouse in Northern Greece! In 1985, his son Panagiotis Baxevanis, the current owner, also started the business activity. In 1991, Panagiotis Baxevanis decided to move the greenhouses outside the city, to their current location in privately owned facilities, which occupy a total of 20,000 m2 of which 8,000 m2 are greenhouses and the remaining 12,000 m2 outdoor crops and facilities. Today the company has its own trucks specifically for the transport of flowers and plants. It expands dynamically in the market, strengthens the sales network and adapts to new conditions. Grows various ornamental plants, exports to Holland, Belgium, Germany & neighboring Bulgaria. It supplies all of Greece with its products while importing plants from Holland, Belgium, Germany & Italy. It uses the most modern mechanical equipment while all the greenhouses are glass fences. Business extroversion is a vital necessity. The Balkans are proving to be a privileged area for the business. It has been exporting ornamental olives for three years now and the prospects look particularly encouraging. The Baxevanis family completes almost a century of continuous presence in floriculture. It continues with the principles that established it: it remains faithful to tradition & open to innovation. And optimistic about the prospects that are opening up in today's difficult situation.
