From our state-of-the-art distribution center close to the Miami International Airport, we distribute our nationally branded fresh cut flowers called Rio Roses® via a network of wholesale flower distributors across the U.S. and Canada.

Our flowers are packaged and distributed under four exclusive, registered trademarked names:

Rio Carnations®

Rio Specialty Flowers®

Rio Specialty flowers includes products such as chrysanthemums and novelty products like Ranunculus and Delphinium. Rio carries over 20 different product types and hundreds of unique floral varieties.

Rio currently produces on 550 acres of floral production from its primary farms located in Colombia and Ecuador. Year-round production of consistently extraordinary quality products, seasoned customer-focused salespeople and support staff combined with creative marketing and education enables us to maintain a reputation for integrity and dependability.

Equiflor Corporation is dedicated to developing Rio Roses® into the first nationally recognized consumer brand of fresh cut flowers. In today’s rapidly changing business place, one of the most valuable services a business can offer to their customers is a way for them to standout against their competition. We support our nationwide customer base with the best marketing programs and education in the floral industry.

• Marketingservicesandprograms• Education• Knowledgeableandexperiencedsalesteam• Qualitycontrol

That’s our goal for every flower we ship. Every member of our QC staff is dedicated to providing you with consistent, high quality flowers all year round. We follow a demanding set of quality parameters in the production, harvesting and packaging of each and every fresh cut flower. In addition to inspections at the farm, the quality control specialists at our Miami distribution center assess all our in-coming shipments of flowers each day to make sure that they meet our quality, grading and packing standards.

These inspections are processed through a state of the art software system called Petals which was created by our own in-house IT and QC department staff. This unique software allows us to database all the inspections and immediately communicate and connect to our farms as soon as product is received into our Miami facility. These standards and processes act as your insurance that every flower is delivered to your door as though it were just cut at the farm.
