COMPANY PROFILE

Austraflora, founded by its present Managing Director Joan Rampolla, has been a successful player in the palms and cycad horticultural business for over twenty years.

The company initially concentrated on Australian native species. During the 1980s the company had an established network of nurseries throughout Italy that regularly purchased seeds, seedlings and plants of Kentia, Araucaria and Cycads. In the 1990s, the steady market demand for indoor ornamental palms was accompanied by a desire for change and venture in new species. Favoured by the rather suitable Italian climate, Austraflora started to diversify its supply to satisfy the new market needs. By the end of the 1990s, Austraflora had introduced a whole new range of species, which was no longer limited to Australia.

Today Austraflora has expanded its operations and is able to supply superior quality seeds, seedlings and plants from all over the world at highly competitive prices. Austraflora also has a nursery located in the South of Italy, which specialises in palms and, inter alia, rare cycad varieties.

Our current client nurseries export their germinated seeds and plants to several countries across Europe, including the UK, France, Belgium and Germany.

Austraflora is present at the major European Flower and Plant Exhibitions including Padova, Italy, Giardini Naxos, Italy, Essen, Germany and Valencia, Spain.
