In addition to Denmark, the company has nurseries in Costa Rica, Italy, and Sweden, and sales organizations in England, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Sweden.
About three-quarters of GASA's sales are exports and it is one of the biggest distributors of potted plants in Europe.[2] The company is owned by Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab (47%) and the Danish potted-plant producers (27%). The remaining 26% is owned by Gartnernes Forsikring and a number of banks. GASA Group was established in its present form in 2001 when GASA Aarhus A/S and GASA Odense-Blomster A/S established a collaboration. In 2004, the companies became GASA Group Denmark A/S.
