“Our planters are not just containers– they are sculptural, tactile objects that carry the mark of the maker’s hand,” says Nicole Hugo, head of sales and logistics at Torc Pots.

The subject of Pro Landscaper USA’s September “Meet the Supplier” feature shared how Torc has risen from humble beginnings to a household name.

Initially, the company was founded when Hylton Hugo was searching for large-scale planters for use in his property developments, and was disappointed by the offerings on the market.

“After many years of trial and error Hylton Hugo came up with a mix design that was clay-like to handle and very stable and durable. He placed these planters on the terraces of various developments and the business just took off with inquiries!”

Today Torc’s products are requested by architects and designers all over.

“We are invited to place products onto the Show Gardens of Chelsea Flower Show every year. 2025 saw our products appear on no less than 6 Show Gardens alongside our own trade stand which is visited by thousands of people over the course of the week.”
