Costa Farms acquires Hermann Engelmann Greenhouses, Inc.

Costa Farms announced that it has acquired the business, assets, and brands of Hermann Engelmann Greenhouses, Inc. of Apopka, Fla., a small-foliage grower.

Hermann Engelmann Greenhouses has played a role in the indoor houseplant industry for more than 40 years.

“It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to work with a team that has been committed to quality for so many years.” Jose Costa, executive vice president and co-owner of Costa Farms says. “The Engelmann organization has done an outstanding job cultivating and keeping their brand strong with 40 plus years of hard work and dedication. And we feel a huge component of this transaction is the skill and expertise of the Engelmann production team.”

Costa Farms will continue to support the Exotic Angel brand, and looks to build a portfolio of more than 400 plant varieties. “Being the most recognized houseplant brand in the country, Exotic Angel is a perfect complement to join the Costa portfolio of brands, such as O2 for You and Plants of Steel,” Costa says.
