Craftsmanship through generations: The Sneeboer story

For more than 110 years, the Sneeboer name has been synonymous with exceptional handmade garden tools. Our family business, based in Bovenkarspel, Noord-Holland, celebrated its 110th anniversary in January 2023. A milestone we look back on with pride.

What sets Sneeboer apart is our unique balance between tradition and innovation. Our craftsmen, many of them family members, diligently make every tool from high-quality stainless steel. This dedication to quality has brought us international recognition among the most discerning gardeners worldwide.

The Sneeboer philosophy lives in every creation: we constantly develop innovative tools, improve tried-and-tested classics and revive forgotten garden tools. In doing so, we combine traditional forging techniques with modern insights, always looking for new markets and improved sustainable production methods.

Today, the fourth generation of Sneeboer is ready to continue this heritage, true to founder Arie Sneeboer’s motto: ‘I know how to do it better.’ This drive explains why gardeners worldwide agree: ‘Anyone who has ever held a Sneeboer in their hands never wants anything else.’
