About Smithers-Oasis
"Since our start in 1954, when V. L. Smithers revolutionized the floral industry with the creation of water-absorbing foam for florists, Smithers-Oasis has grown into a leading global manufacturer and marketer of floral foam, floral accessory products, cellular growing media, postharvest products, temperature-controlled packaging, and specialized foams."
By supplying you with the greatest goods and technologies, Smithers-Oasis strives to advance floral design and the longevity of cut flowers and plants utilizing research and development in a way that no other corporation can due to their global reach. To deliver you the best design and flower care resources, they take into account all of the demands of the floral chain.
Smithers-Oasis can deliver products and services to the local market, reflecting regional tastes and customs, thanks to their WORLDWIDE network of facilities. The operating units all have the same goal: to provide florists and floral designers with solution-based goods, education, creative methodologies, and inspiration.
Florists and growers throughout the world can rely on OASIS® branded items to produce their designs and build their businesses thanks to their distribution partners, who include wholesalers and distributors. FloraLife® Post-Harvest Products provide the industry with a full range of care and handling options. This took more than 70 years of research and development to perfect!
The cut flower's longevity is the number one priority for us florists-- especially for those jam-packed event weekends! Fresh cut flowers are fed and hydrated without having to recut stems before arranging in a vase or floral foam with the FloraLife® Express Flower Food, a product that utilizes new proprietary technology. This premium flower food is made with components that keep floral bouquets and arrangements looking fresh while also increasing their quality.
