At the end of October 2017, we received a request from our customer for the plant Iris germanica – a plant whose usual harvest date is summer. Of course, the need of our customer was urgent, as he had already run several experiments in the laboratory and now needed this plant. To increase the challenge, it had to be fresh.
Dr. Sandra Miklos was very sceptical whether it would be possible to procure the goods at this time of the year and in fresh condition. Fortunately, one of our partners grows the plant and as luck would have it, some plants were still growing in a field about 150 km away from here. At the beginning of November Dr. Sandra Miklos and Oliver Steinkohl changed from their business attire into worker outfits, got into the car, and drove to the supplier to assist with the harvesting, cleaning and drying of the plant to meet the customer‘s special request. The delivery was organized to go directly from the field to the customer in order to further optimize the time-critical delivery.
Our client was convinced by quality and service. As a result, he ordered the plant material in larger quantities from us.
