从范德唐兄弟到共生国际，再到两层结构
Symbiosis International B.V. 是一家荷兰 Flevoland 的球茎与切花进出口公司，**母公司 Symbiosis Invest B.V. 持有它全部股份**。公司由家族生意改组而来：原来的名字叫「Van der Tang Brothers」，做了三代园艺，做的是球茎。
改名的理由公司自己说得很直白——园艺世界和全球的球茎生产贸易都在快速变化，家族姓氏已经配不上一个面向全世界的出口与咨询服务。**新名字 Symbiosis 取的是生物学里「共生」的意思**，指的是不同物种长期互利共居。公司把这层意思直接用在了经营上：**「以双赢结果建立起来的网络，就是共生」**。
公司的注册身份是荷兰的 Besloten Vennootschap（封闭有限责任公司），注册地在 Lelystad，登记状态为存续。需要说明的是，站上公开了完整的街道地址、邮编、办公电话、邮箱以及税号、EORI 号和银行账号。本站不转录这些内容，想联系请直接访问公司站。
做的是全产业链的贸易和代理
公司列出的产品和服务有七项：球茎、多年生植物、盆栽植物、切花、工程、进口服务、出口服务。
用荷兰语那份更完整的自我介绍来说得更具体：**球茎批发、出口与进口；出口插穗以及花卉和蔬菜种子；进口切花，主要面向目标客群里的关系户**。另外还有商务服务一项，其中包括**替第三方打理出口发运**，以及**面向种植户的工作坊和栽培指导**。
它的客户不只有切花、植物和蔬菜的生产者。**公司也给市政机构供应球茎和多年生植物，用于公共公园的城市绿化**。目标市场写得很明确：**亚洲、非洲和中东**。
「工程」这一项容易被略过，但它说明了公司的业务不限于倒货。工程指的是生产设施与栽培条件的规划，而「面向种植户的工作坊和栽培指导」是另一头——把生产端的技术问题接进来，再通过出口发运服务把货送出去，这两段连起来才是它说的「一整条链」。
从公司自己的报价单能看出真实货盘
这类公司的网站往往只有几段自述，能看到真货盘的，是他们发给客户的报价单。公司在 2019 年前后发布过四份切花进口报价表，是 Excel 格式的订单模板，逐个品种列出品名、数量、每支价格和总计。
这四份表覆盖的正是当时主营的四个切花品类。**六出花（Alstroemeria）14 个品种**，包括 Alyna、Amethyst、Everest、Helena、Intenz pink、Lemon、Ntalya、Nemo、Orange Queen、Poem、Rebbeca、Solange、Sylvan、Whitney，每支 0.40 欧元。
**玫瑰 24 个品种**，从 Avalanche、Bluz、Bounty way、Bright Eye、Candela、Cashmere、Dolcevita、Evi 一路到 Samourai、Vintage，**按 70 至 80 厘米枝长、每 20 支一扎计价，每扎 0.55 欧元**。表里另有三支一组的喷雾玫瑰（Bela Rus、Ocean mikado、Silver rain），价格相同。
**天堂鸟（Anthurium）15 个品种**，Angel、Candy、Champagne、Fire、Lemon、Maxima Violeta、Midori、Morano、Nero、Perruzi、Pistache、Previa、Sirion、Tropic Night、Xavia，**每盒 12 支，每支 1 欧元**。
球根牡丹（Polyanthus tuberosa）是第四个品类，每百支一组的报价方式。
这些表本身还带着几处能说明问题的细节。**报价单同时印着商会登记号和银行账号，并且明确写着「Anthos 的销售条件适用于所有协议，每年寄送一次；对方当事人的条件被明确拒绝，除非双方另有书面约定」**。下面还有一行 BKD 的登记号。
也就是说，这家做进出口的公司在文件层面挂在两个行会下面：**Royal Anthos（皇家苗木与球茎生产商贸易协会）和 BKD（Bloembollenkeuringsdienst，球茎检验服务）**。Anthos 的供应商名录上确实有 Symbiosis International b.v.，列在「西东欧」分区里。
把公司登记信息理一遍，能看出这家公司近十年经历过一次结构上的重组。
在荷兰商会登记里，有一家叫 **Flowerbulbs-online** 的实体，注册地在 Biddinghuizen，登记过两个商号：**Ambachtelijke Zeepfabriek**（一家手工皂厂的旧名）和 **Symbiosis International**。2019 年那四份报价单抬头写的正是 Biddinghuizen 的地址，登记号也与这家对得上——**这说明改名前后，业务装在同一个法人主体里，只是对外用了 Symbiosis International 这个商号**。
后来结构变了。**Symbiosis Invest B.V. 于 2018 年 6 月 26 日设立**，注册地在 Dronten，经营活动分类是「金融控股」，2019 年 9 月 1 日由 Robert van der Tang 出任授权代表，2020 年迁到 Lelystad 现在的地址。**现在真正做球茎与切花贸易的 Symbiosis International B.V. 是另一个法人**，同样在 Lelystad，登记状态存续，同样带「不接收 unsolicited 邮寄」标记。公司的公开登记信息显示其唯一股东为 Symbiosis Invest B.V.，管理层中有 S. van der Tang-Orozović。
所以公司现在是一个两层结构：**上层是持股的 Symbiosis Invest B.V.，下层是实际经营的 Symbiosis International B.V.**
节水和不用农药是两个目标
公司在 Goals 一节里写了两件事，都不是空话。
水。「清洁水的可获得性并非每个国家都天然存在」，所以必须非常谨慎地控制用水量——不只是种植环节，还包括供人类消费的水质和可得性。这句提醒其实点出球茎行业一个现实：球茎清洗、分级和冷库环节都是耗水大户，而荷兰的球茎加工多集中在自有水源的产区。
植保。公司写得更直接：**「用农药做植保已经不再被期望，即便在法律允许的情况下。」** 提出的做法是「跳出框框思考」，停止对自然的过度压榨，寻找可行的替代方案来保护花卉和粮食生产，同时也要为下一代的环境负责。
对应的具体做法列了三条思路。**花得更少**：水、肥料、农药都少用。**想解决方案**：水的再利用，以及转向生物防治。**由此带来的结果**：减少水的浪费、减少有害化学品的使用、通过创新生产方法提高产量、提高质量，最终带来更高的收益。
这三条排在一起是有逻辑的——节水和减药在这个行业里是同一笔账，因为省下来的水就是省下来的成本，省下来的农药是省下来的合规风险。
在招什么人，说明公司想往哪走
公司网站上挂着一个荷兰语的招聘启事，职位是球茎销售，目标客群写的是**亚洲、非洲与中东的关系户**。
启事里对人的要求说得比一般招聘具体得多。要跟鲜花种植者聊球茎的栽培活动，以便规划全年生产和供货周期、谈成合同；也要跟蔬菜种植者对播种计划、签合同。知识方面要求掌握植物、蔬菜和花卉栽培，懂肥料、除草剂、杀虫剂和杀菌剂的基本知识，**还要懂电导率 EC 和酸碱度 pH 这两个概念**。
会做的事包括：跟产品相关的行政工作、跟进现代设备与新技术的发展、做产品展示和工作坊、在需要时协助其他任务。
学历写的是**与 HBO 园艺（HBO Tuinbouw）等同的教育**，具备花卉栽培、蔬菜栽培、最好还有种子栽培的知识；要有有效驾照，**喷雾执照（spuitlicentie）是加分项**，有法律基础知识和提交无犯罪记录证明（VOG）也是加分项。语言方面英语和荷兰语都要会写会说，**俄语和阿拉伯语是加分项**——这和它写的目标客群是对得上的。
还有一条挺说明问题的说明：「我们不找『快枪手』（毕竟互联网快得多），而是要有长期眼光、有商业头脑、能说服并留住客户关系的人。」 理想情况下要有几年同类岗位经验，在荷兰和/或国外证明过自己。**工作方式以居家或办公室为主**，入职熟悉后才会出差走访客户和供应商。
启事最后说，公司需要的是**能自主、有进取心、独立把事情做成的人**，好让已经准备好的项目和目标更快落地。还有一句解释了这个职位存在的意义：「Covid-19 期间我们的花卉行业受到重创，但眼下我们正在追赶。」
From Van der Tang Brothers to a two-layer structure
Symbiosis International B.V. is a flower bulb and cut flower trading company in Flevoland, the Netherlands, and its parent company Symbiosis Invest B.V. holds all of its shares. It grew out of a family business: the company used to be called “Van der Tang Brothers”, three generations of horticulture, all of it in flower bulbs.
The reason for the change is stated plainly on the company’s own site. The horticultural world, along with flower bulb production and trade, is changing fast all over the world, and a family name no longer fitted a worldwide export and consultancy service. The new name, Symbiosis, is taken from biology — the long-term mutually beneficial association of unlike organisms. The company applies that idea directly to how it does business: networks built on a win-win outcome are symbiosis.
The company is registered as a Dutch Besloten Vennootschap, a private limited liability company, based in Lelystad, with its registration status active. The site publishes the full street address, postal code, office telephone, email address, as well as the VAT number, EORI number and bank account. None of that is reproduced here; the company’s site is the place to reach them.
Trade and agency work across the whole chain
The company lists seven products and services: flower bulbs, perennial plants, potted plants, cut flowers, engineering, import services and export services.
The fuller Dutch description spells it out. Flower bulb wholesale, export and import; export of cuttings and of flower and vegetable seeds; import of cut flowers, mainly for the relationships in the target group. Business services are another line, and these include handling export shipments on behalf of third parties, plus workshops and cultivation guidance for growers.
Its customers are not only growers of cut flowers, plants and vegetables. The company also supplies flower bulbs and perennial plants to municipalities, for public parks and urban greening. The target market is stated explicitly: Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
The “engineering” line is easy to skim past, but it says the business is not only about moving goods. Engineering covers planning production facilities and growing conditions, and the “workshops and cultivation guidance for growers” is the other end of it — bringing production-side technical problems in, and then getting the goods out through the export shipping service. Those two pieces together are the whole chain the company talks about.
What the company’s own price lists reveal
Websites like this often carry little more than a few lines of self-description. The real picture of the goods comes from the order forms the company sends to customers, and around 2019 it published four Excel price lists for imported cut flowers, laid out as order templates listing each variety, the quantity, the price per stem and the total.
These four cover the four cut flower lines it was handling then. Alstroemeria, 14 varieties: Alyna, Amethyst, Everest, Helena, Intenz pink, Lemon, Ntalya, Nemo, Orange Queen, Poem, Rebbeca, Solange, Sylvan and Whitney, at 0.40 euro per stem.
Roses, 24 varieties, running from Avalanche, Bluz, Bounty way, Bright Eye, Candela, Cashmere, Dolcevita and Evi through to Samourai and Vintage, priced on a stem length of 70 to 80 cm, in bunches of 20 stems, at 0.55 euro per bunch. The sheet also lists three spray roses — Bela Rus, Ocean mikado and Silver rain — at the same price.
Anthurium, 15 varieties: Angel, Candy, Champagne, Fire, Lemon, Maxima Violeta, Midori, Morano, Nero, Perruzi, Pistache, Previa, Sirion, Tropic Night and Xavia, packed 12 to a box at 1 euro per stem.
The fourth line is Polyanthus tuberosa, quoted in units of 100 stems.
The forms themselves carry a few telling details. They show the chamber of commerce registration number and the bank account, and they state that the sales conditions of Anthos apply to all agreements and will be sent to you once a year, that the conditions of the contracting party are explicitly rejected unless differently agreed in writing by both parties. Below that sits a BKD registration number.
So at document level this trading company sits under two trade bodies: Royal Anthos, the royal trade association for the tree nursery and flower bulb producers, and BKD, the Bloembollenkeuringsdienst, the flower bulb inspection service. Symbiosis International b.v. does appear on the Anthos supplier list, in the West and Eastern Europe section.
Reading the company register through, it becomes clear that this business was restructured over the past ten years.
In the Dutch chamber of commerce there is an entity called Flowerbulbs-online, registered in Biddinghuizen, and it carries two trading names: Ambachtelijke Zeepfabriek, the name of a former artisan soap factory, and Symbiosis International. The four price lists from around 2019 show the Biddinghuizen address and carry a matching registration number, which means that before and after the renaming, the business sat inside a single legal entity, simply trading under the name Symbiosis International.
The structure then changed. Symbiosis Invest B.V. was incorporated on 26 June 2018, with its seat in Dronten and its activity classified as financial holding; Robert van der Tang became authorised representative on 1 September 2019, and the company moved to its current Lelystad address in 2020. The Symbiosis International B.V. that actually trades in flower bulbs and cut flowers today is a separate legal entity, also in Lelystad, also active, and also carrying a non-mailing indicator. Its published register shows Symbiosis Invest B.V. as sole shareholder, with S. van der Tang-Orozović among the management.
So the company today is a two-layer structure: a holding company on top, and the trading company underneath it.
Two goals: less water, no pesticides
The Goals section of the site sets out two things, and neither is empty talk.
Water. The availability of clean water is not naturally available in every country, so its consumption has to be handled very carefully — not only in plant growth, but also for the quality and availability of water for consumption. The point touches a real constraint of the bulb trade: washing, grading and cold storage are all water-hungry, and Dutch bulb handling is concentrated in growing areas with their own water sources.
Crop protection. The company puts it more bluntly: the use of pesticides for crop protection is no longer desirable, not even when it is legalised. What is needed, it says, is to think outside the box, stop being overbearing on nature, and find working alternatives that protect flowers and food production and the environment as well, on behalf of the legacy passed to the next generation.
Three lines of thinking follow. Spend less: on water, fertilisers and pesticides. Think in solutions: re-use of water, and calling on biological crop protection. Spinoff: reduction of wasted water, reduction of the use of harmful chemicals, higher yields through innovative production methods, higher quality — and therefore higher revenues.
Put together, the three make a single argument: saving water and cutting chemicals are the same ledger for this trade, because water saved is cost saved and chemicals spared is regulatory risk spared.
Who they are hiring says where they are heading
The site carries a Dutch-language job advert for a flower bulb sales position, with the target group given as relationships in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
It is more specific about the person than most adverts. The role involves talking to flower growers about their bulb growing activities, in order to plan year-round production and supply schedules and to close contracts, and equally talking to vegetable growers about sowing schedules and closing contracts. In terms of knowledge, solid grounding in plant, vegetable and flower cultivation, basic knowledge of fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides, and familiarity with EC and pH as concepts.
Among the duties: sales-related administration, keeping up with developments in modern equipment and new growing techniques, giving product presentations and workshops, and assisting with other tasks where needed.
On education, the requirement is equivalent to HBO Tuinbouw, the Dutch higher professional education in horticulture, with knowledge of flower growing, vegetable growing and preferably seed growing. A valid driving licence is required; a spraying licence is a plus, as are legal knowledge and the ability to supply a certificate of good conduct (VOG). On languages, English and Dutch in writing and speech, with Russian and Arabic as advantages — which lines up with the stated target market.
One line is worth quoting because it says a lot about the business: they are not looking for a “fast seller” (the internet is faster anyway) but for someone with a long-term vision, commercially minded, able to convince and keep hold of customer relationships. The ideal candidate has several years of experience in a comparable role and a track record in the Netherlands and/or abroad. Working from home or from the office is the norm, with travel to visit customers and suppliers after a period of settling in.
The advert closes by saying the company needs someone who can operate autonomously and with initiative, to make the projects and targets already prepared move forward faster. And it explains why the position is open: our floricultural sector was hit hard during Covid-19, but we have been catching up since.
