Development

On site development for continuous performance improvement

We invest substantial amounts in product development and control for our aeration tools. This constant openness to innovation and enhancement guarantees our success.

We support your maintenance work through well-founded know-how and professional, personal advice. We would be pleased to offer on-site consultation.

The company owner Herbert Effertz himself develops the products on his own. After his professional training and studies, combined with many years of experience in the machining and green industry, he has all the expertise needed to develop innovative products and revolutionize the market.

This was preceded by our product lines Conispoon®, Longlife and most recently tiny tine®. Through a lot of experience and foresight, we know exactly how to optimize and improve our products. Once a new idea has been developed, prototypes are built which are tested in field trials. After optimizations and final tests the products go into series production.

Production

In-house production allows us to respond immediately to orders

We are constantly developing our expertise through the use of innovative technologies. We have the ideal production technology for every tool, which allows for efficient production that meets all quality standards.

Our many years of experience and internal quality management allow us to maintain a high standard in our work at all times. Each product passes through several steps during the manufacturing process and is sorted by hand. Thus each tool is a unique piece which is carefully finished by hand.

Not only our product quality, but also our environment is very important for us. Our entire production hall as well as our office is powered exclusively by green electricity, which we obtain from our solar panels on our roof. In this way, we protect the planet and contribute our share to environmental protection. We also make every effort to reuse packaging materials such as cardboard boxes and produce our own filling material by shredding old newspapers. We dispose our metal shavings professionally. These are sent to the recycling process.

Quality

Continual quality testing for consistently high-quality products

Within our company, constant quality control within individual production processes plays a central role.

Tools are taken from ongoing production at regular intervals and subjected to quality control inspections. All products are checked by longtime experienced and motivated employees and are stored and packed by hand according to our quality standards.

Continuous monitoring ensures that quality remains consistent at all times.

Sales

Customer contact, advice, support and customer care from a single source

Lasting customer relationships are always the result of just a few success factors: know-how, reliability and a willingness to truly understand the requirements of our customers and fulfill them, even down to the smallest detail. We firmly believe that listening, advising and understanding lead to perfect results.

Short response times combined with an excellent price/performance ratio and flexibility, from the moment an order is accepted to its punctual delivery, are our number one priority.

In addition, we deliver our goods to local customers in the home area with our electric vehicle, which is also loaded with green electricity. Thus no exhaust fumes are produced which pollute our beloved environment.

On our website you will find all important information about aeration and our products. In our catalogue you will find our complete range of products and you can filter the products to your liking and find the right product for your lawn and machines with just a few clicks. Of course an internet presence cannot replace personal contact and a good conversation. Therefore, we are always available for professional consultation. We will respond to your special needs with the highest degree of commitment and find a solution for every problem.
