Corporate Information and Production Facilities

Orchids Dominicana, S.A., "Orchidom", is a Dominican Republic corporation, owned predominantly by U.S. shareholders, which was organized in 1996 to produce mature, high-quality orchids to meet the needs of commercial orchid growers in the United States and elsewhere.

The Company’s headquarters, general offices and laboratory and greenhouse facilities are located just north of Santo Domingo between the towns of Pedregal and Salamanca, which can be reached in an hour from Santo Domingo’s Las Americas International Airport.

Orchidom is currently producing about 35,000 flasks annually in its laboratory facilities. At any one time, the 3,000 square feet of shelf/bench space set aside for flasks contains 15,000 to 20,000 flasks.
