From the fax to AI

One question from the very start: how do we get the right tree to your door, at the right moment, without you having to go anywhere.

  1. 2004

    Pioneers of ordering online

    Selling Christmas trees over the internet doesn't exist yet in Belgium. A good share of our orders still comes in by phone and by fax.

  2. 2007

    The company becomes Sapins

    New name, new logo. That same year, we begin developing Nordmann cultivation in Belgium.

  3. 2014

    Flocked Nordmann from 1 to 6 metres

    First in Belgium to flock Nordmann trees across that full range. We are still the only ones offering it.

  4. 2020

    Covid changes the pace

    Shops closed, online orders surging. Sixteen years after we started, the market catches up with us.

    "Covid played a part in online orders, a lot of shops were closed."
    Benoit Marquezy, co-manager — La DH, 22 November 2021. That season: +40% trees sold, +150% including decorations.
  5. 2022

    France and the Netherlands

    The platform opens under the "Sapins" name, for the delivery of artificial trees and Christmas decorations.

  6. 2026

    Artificial intelligence

    The question hasn't changed since 2004: deliver the right tree, at the right moment, without you having to go anywhere. Only the tools have changed.
