History

The History of Tuberbulb Export BV

All about Tuberbulb Export BV

Tuberbulb Export BV was founded in 1990 after Royal Van Tubergen BV decided to cease its export activities and shift its focus to consumer sales. The export division was taken over by Jan Boot – former director and owner of C.S. Weijers – who established a new company: Tuberbulb Export BV – “all over the world.”

The name Tuberbulb is a nod to both the company’s origin (Van Tubergen) and the nature of its trade: tubers and bulbs.
