History

Pagter Innovations was founded in 1992, the year that the first Procona container was launched on the market. Initially the business was based from the Pagter family home.

With a continual increase in client numbers, the business soon ran out of room. Pagter Innovations then moved to commercial building in Dinteloord (NL).

Pagter Innovations remained in Dinteloord until 2001, then moved to its current location in the Dutch city of Roosendaal. This is where headquarters are still located. In 1996 Pagter Innovations opened offices in Chicago, USA. There are also Pagter sales offices in Italy, Mexico and Japan.

In addition to the popular Procona containers for cut flowers, Pagter Innovations now boasts an extensive range of packaging systems for cut flowers. The past ten years have seen Procona emerge as a total packaging system for cut flowers. The product line is now complemented by a dedicated packaging system for gerberas, and the unique Porto product has been developed for single bunches or bouquets.
