Craftsmanship meets modern production
For over 125 years, we have been manufacturing a wide range of hand tools for construction, home and garden at our Herdecke production location.
As the largest industrial manufacturer of shovels and spades in Europe, our company relies on a smart mix of manufacturing and maximum automation in production.
The IDEAL spade is a symbol for the values of our company and the quality of our products. Sustainably produced and – thanks to the many years of know-how of our employees – constantly improved tools, create the best possible usage qualities, which support our customers in their work.
Special rolling technology since 1899
Selected products such as our IDEAL spade are manufactured in traditional and handcrafted work. Eight employees produce a spade of the highest quality from a steel block in up to 20 work steps. Through a unique rolling technique developed by us, the spade blade is rolled conically and is thus self-sharpening.
Another special feature: the spade blade and the double spring are not welded together, but consist of a single piece of steel. This guarantees particularly high loading capacity.
Our Löwe Spade type "Bauspaten" is test winner
In an extensive test the diy magazine "Selbst ist der Mann" together with the VPA Remscheid (Testing and Inspection Institute) compared 17 gardening spades using a device specially designed for this product segment.
The test winner with rating 1.1 from the conventional spades models was the LÖWE “Bauspaten” from IDEALSPATEN.
