How Montis Started

about montis plant

A family business with a green story

Montis Plant grew into a full-fledged family business with a clear vision and strong identity. The company's name? Montis. At first glance, the name might not seem to directly refer to anything. However, there's a deeper meaning behind this choice. "Montis" is Latin for "of the mountain" or "mountainous," a reference to the Van den Berg family! Moreover, it's a name that exudes strength, stability, and reliability.
