Beautiful flowers every day
The flower sector livens up with rainbow-coloured products early in the morning. Over 200 companies in two modern halls sell Polish cut and pot flowers, imported flowers, as well as flower accessories and decorations. A rich product offer is adjusted to the needs of the customers who can buy not only domestic products at the Market but also plants imported from the most remote parts of the world.
A high quality of flowers coming from the Market is ensured by the sales conditions in the optimum temperature, cooling storage facilities and special unloading sectors. Thanks to these solutions, the flowers purchased in Bronisze remain fresh and beautiful for a long time.
The sector with flower accessories and decorations is complementary to the flower offer. Florists, florist’s shop owners, interior designers, advertising agencies get supplied there with any products required to design bouquets, interior decorations or non-standard gifts.
International florist shows, very popular among professional florists, are organised in the flower hall twice a year. Apart from the shows, there are also recurrent floristic workshops run by European floristics masters. Regular training courses support wholesalers operating at the Market to make offers meeting the requirements of florist’s shops and interior design companies.
Fresh products Market
The maximum shortening of a distance from the field to the table is the primary task of a wholesale market and its biggest advantage over cash & carry wholesalers. Simplification of a supply chain makes it possible to deliver fruit and vegetables to wholesale trade within a few hours from picking. Thus, the consumer receives ripe products of excellent taste and health values.
The Wholesale Market in Bronisze operates in accordance with the seasons and a rhythm determined by fruit and vegetable picking periods. Spring starts with early vegetables, summer gets red with strawberries, sweet and sour cherries. After a picking period, the smell of apples from Grójec and Warka, tomatoes from Karczew and Janów, and peppers from Radom spreads over the trade areas.
Autumn is the time for Polish pears and apples with their peak sales period in October and November.
Winter is a season of intensive work for importers. Their task is to supplement the offer of domestic products with fruit and vegetables imported from other parts of the world. The majority of fruit imported by them at that time comes from Southern Europe, mainly from Spain. Thanks to their work, aromatic tangerines, oranges, grapefruits, bananas and kiwi are served at our tables all winter.
We declare with our full responsibility: there is no other place offering products fresher than at the Wholesale Market in Bronisze.
