SUSTAINABLE CRAFTSMANSHIP SINCE 1947
For more than 75 years, Herder has been developing and building professional machinery for verge, ditch and vegetation maintenance. What started as an innovative idea by the Den Herder brothers has grown into a globally recognized brand. Today, our machines are used in more than 30 countries by contractors, municipalities, water authorities and government organizations that rely on reliability, capacity and long-lasting performance.
We combine true craftsmanship with modern engineering. Our factory in Middelburg is the beating heart of Herder: this is where our boom mowers, mowing buckets, attachments and stump grinders are engineered, tested and built by experienced specialists. Every machine that leaves the factory carries the same promise: robust, purposeful and built to deliver top performance for years to come.
OUR VALUES
At Herder, reliability is not a slogan — it is a fundamental principle. Our machines are built for intensive daily use. With strong constructions, high-quality materials and proven technologies, users can count on minimal downtime, maximum performance and a long service life.
Herder does not innovate for the sake of innovation. We develop solutions that address real challenges in the field. From the first patented mowing bucket in 1964 to the Herder One, every innovation is created to work more efficiently, safely and sustainably.
Our people make the difference. Engineers, welders, technicians and specialists who truly master their profession and take pride in building machines used across the world. This craftsmanship is visible in every detail — from boom construction to the finish of the smallest components.
We build machines that last, are easy to maintain and contribute to ecologically responsible management of verges and waterways. Herder stands for durable materials, maintenance-friendly design and smart solutions that help users meet environmental and regulatory requirements.
Herder works closely with an extensive and knowledgeable dealer network that sells, supports and maintains our machines. Together, we share knowledge, field experience and product training to ensure every user can rely on high-quality service — anywhere in the world.
Our own specialists are always ready to offer support that goes a step further. We listen to the professionals who work with our machines every day. By testing, developing and refining together, we ensure every Herder machine perfectly matches the needs of operators, contractors and land managers.
We are only satisfied when they are.
