HARK Orchideen – Corporate Management

The best innovations, technical solutions and systems alone are of little use. What you really need in a successful company is a competent and committed team.

We can proudly say that we are such a team!

Whether management, department and team management in the laboratory, sales, administration or shipping – all areas work hand in hand. This is how our company, which has more than 500 employees here in Lippstadt, can continue to operate so successfully worldwide as a contract propagator of orchids.

Corporate management

Anja Hark-Borrmann has been associated with our company from the day she was born. She grew up in her parents’ business and became enthusiastic about  horticulture at an early age. After graduating from high school, Ms. Hark-Borrmann completed an apprenticeship as an agricultural-technical assistant and then successfully studied horticulture (academic degree: Dipl.-Ingenieurin [graduated engineer]). Subsequently, Ms. Hark-Borrmann took over leading positions at horticultural companies in the United States and at a research institute in Central Germany. After her “apprenticeship and traveling years” she joined the management of our company in 2008. During this time, Fritz Hark Orchideen GmbH & Co KG, among others, grew to over 800 employees, further expanded the research and development department and professionalised the laboratory kitchen and highly complex production planning. In 2020, their responsibility grew with the acquisition of a stake in one of the world’s largest young plant companies based in the Netherlands and Brazil.
