Rijk Zwaan products draw positive attention in Canada


On October 5 and 6, RZH Canada Ltd - Rijk Zwaan’s distributor in Canada – successfully participated in the Canadian Greenhouse Conference in Niagara, Ontario.


The booth was managed by Howard Huy and Gus Mastronardi of RZH and John DeVries and Marleen van der Torre of Rijk Zwaan. Several products were in the spotlight, among which TOV tomato Endeavour RZ and red pepper Red Wing RZ.  

It was not only the varieties, however, that caught the attention of the Canadians. Especially for the conference, Zora – the wife of Howard – and Marleen had decorated a special ‘vegetable model’. With this creation RZH even won the award for ‘Best Products Display Booth’. It was the first time that a vegetable display had won this award.


“All and all we had a very good conference”, says Howard. “There was good interest in our new varieties and positive feedback about our existing ones. Everyone did a fantastic job. Especially I want to mention Zora and Marleen, as they were the ones who decorated the model.”
