VIVERS TORTADES SL

What VIVERS TORTADES SL does

Vivers Tortadès SL is a family-owned wholesale ornamental plant nursery headquartered in Sant Hilari Sacalm, Girona, Spain, operating continuously since its founding in 1976. The company cultivates, produces, and commercialises over 700 varieties of outdoor ornamental plants across six main categories: conifers, shrubs, trees, fruit trees, forest fruits, and Christmas trees. It sells exclusively B2B to professional buyers — garden centres and garden retailers, landscape contractors, and construction-site projects — and does not sell retail. The company's stated headcount is 50 people, working from a 75-hectare production facility.

Vivers Tortadès positions itself as a pioneer of container cultivation (cultivo en contenedor) in Spain, an approach that allows plants to be transplanted immediately with reduced shock relative to traditional bare-root methods. Plants are multiplied from seed, cutting, or graft and grown from small seedlings through to large specimens of 5–6 metres; rootball specimens are also offered. Production follows organic and natural processes, with varieties adapted to extreme climates and minimal water consumption. The company distributes updated general catalogues (PDF) and live availability lists (Excel) for buyer reference, and operates a four-language website (Catalan, Spanish, English, French) to support cross-border procurement.

Commercially, Vivers Tortadès operates a sales-led B2B model with one-time wholesale transactions priced per unit in euros including VAT. Distribution runs through three channels: garden-centre resellers (regional), direct delivery to landscape and construction sites (regional), and export across European territory. The business is privately held as a Spanish Sociedad Limitada (SL), has no parent company, no external institutional investment, and no disclosed funding, M&A, or partnership activity in the source data.
