A group of dutch entrepreneurs with multigenerational expertise in floriculture fund QualisA in Cayambe, northern Ecuadorian Andes.

QualisA buys an additional 29 acres of land to establish a second phase of the farm and escalate rose production. Early experiments with hydroponics.

The first plants of the Freedom rose are planted, many of which are still alive and producing today!

A third phase of QualisA is founded, with 54 acres cultivated for the first time with spray roses, plus an additional 34 acres for experimental crops.

QualisA becomes a FAIRTRADE certified farm, ensuring that its products have minimal environmental impact, and are positively transforming lives and communities.

QualisA joins the Elite Flower Group, and thus forms one of the largest conglomerates of flower farms in Latin America.
