Sprint’s History

2001
Sprint Horticulture was started by Craig Bryson to represent foreign plant breeders in the Australian horticultural marketplace. Our activities focused on sales and distribution of young plants to Australian nursery growers. We began by contracting propagation companies to produce rooted cuttings and tissue cultured young plants. Whilst our product ranges have changed with the needs of the market, we are still working with the same loyal propagation companies.

2003
To support our growth in Australian sales, our production base was enlarged by contracting tissue culture laboratories in Europe and Asia.

2007
With the effects of the long Australian drought on the local ornamental plant market we decided to develop stronger sales connections in foreign markets to buffer local market cycles. We therefore developed commercial agreements with Australian breeders for representation of their new plant varieties in the global market. During this year we also established sales agreements with organizations in the USA and Japan for the distribution of our products.

2008
To further solidify our worldwide distribution capability, Sprint established production and sales agreements with organizations in Europe and South Africa.

2009-2015
Sprint is greatly expanding its plant tissue culture and young plant production in Asia for supply to all foreign markets. At the same time, we continue to develop opportunities for Australian and foreign breeders and their varieties in our local Australian market.

2016
In May we moved to our new office and production site at Peats Ridge, NSW. After 7 months of building the office we finally occupied it on May 13th. The 11 hectare site will position the company for future growth opportunities by providing enough space for greenhouse construction and display gardens.
