About Company:

Welcome to Florexpo LLC/Kendal Floral Supply LLC (“The Company”), the leader in the fresh flower industry! We view our mission as becoming the leading importer, supplier, and distributor of fresh cut flowers for the Western United States,

Kendal Floral Supply was established in 1973 by Ken Baca. The business was named after Kenny and his childhood friend and “then partner Randal.” In the beginning Ken made deliveries to florists “selling greens only.” As the business became more successful it continued to expand. Even after the partnership ceased, Ken continued to grow the business and the product line into fresh cut flowers and bouquets.

In 1994, Florexpo LLC, an import company, was founded after Ken met Herbert Jordan on a trip to South America. Florexpo was formed to offer a better way to move product from farms in Colombia to the Western United States. Florexpo is a dominant one-stop alternative for any customer’s fresh-cut flower needs because of variations in color, grade, and packing. Our 23 products translate into over 500 different varieties.

This variety is made possible by our association with over 32 farms in Colombia. All of the farms in Colombia are independent business units totaling over 1,250 acres of plantations in the production stage. Together they produce approximately 600 million stems per year and employ over 10,000 people. They operate under the vision of “Coherent Autonomy” which fosters innovation and creativity, while at the same time, that enables the group to capture synergies and economies of scale. GR Chia coordinates the production efforts and shipments of all 32 farms in Colombia. By importing the flowers from Colombia, “The Company” is able to offer high quality flowers at a low price.

Kendal today operates as an independent business entity with three locations: Carlsbad CA, Gilroy CA, and Canby OR. Kendal Floral focuses on sales and production of flower arrangements for vendors such as Costco, Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Kroger, Safeway, and other mass market accounts. Florexpo’s primary business is the importing of flowers and has three locations: Carlsbad CA, Gilroy CA, and Canby OR.
