MADE IN BELGIUM
At ELIET, we are proud of our Belgian roots. The company was founded by Emiel Lietaer, who created the company ELIET by merging his name. With his broad technical baggage and his eye for opportunities in the garden sector, Emiel Lietaer developed the first ELIET machines in the 1980s and the foundations were laid for the current factory. What started with one man has meanwhile grown into a family business bursting at the seams with the characteristic orange ELIET machines all over the world.
All ELIET machines are manufactured in the heart of West Flanders, Belgium. Since ELIET, as a Belgian manufacturer, only has a small home market, it is mainly export-oriented. Ever since its foundation, ELIET has specialized in a number of niche markets:
Moreover, the flat company structure of this family business allows great flexibility, which can respond to the ever-increasing demands of the customer. Proof of this is the freedom and dynamism of the research department, which regularly comes up with innovative machines and technologies.
ELIET is a fully integrated company that combines design & development as well as production, assembly and logistics under its own management. Such an organization offers a number of important advantages that mainly benefit the end user.
"By listening to the customer, we identify certain problems in the gardening world, to which we then seek a sustainable, timeless solution, and we do so every day."
