Visiting Protool in South Korea

We have been supplying Protool Corp in Seoul since 2015. Since 2 years they have ordered all the tools that we are making in our Garden Tool Factory in Holland. The trip to Seoul was easy because of our stay in Japan. South Korea is a beautiful country with passionated people, we were more than surprised by the Protool Corporation. The company that is distributing tools like Snap On, Wera, Lie Nielsen, Knipex and DeWit in South Korea. During the 3 days stay we have learned a lot about the country, the gardens and the people. Top of the trip was the visit we made to the #1 Garden store in Gangnam, Queen Mama Market, the destination in Seoul of you Love #gardening.

The Keukenhof 2016

This year we visited the keukenhof in the first week of May. We had the luck that the weather was changed and it we had two beautiful days to walk around the bulb gardens.

Nice to talk with the landscapers who worked also with our tools. They loved the long handles push and pull hoes to weed around the borders. Have a look at our website to see our export range in long handled tools. The long handles are real back savers when you work in the garden. https://www.dewit.eu/en/products/long-handled-tools/

Updates 2016

It has been 2 years since the last update on the blog. Not the only job we are doing at the gardentool factory in Holland. The last gardening season we have used to get a new website, at www.dewit.eu/en you can see the results. With experience and help from the builders at www.sterc.nl it was a lot easier.

Many new tools have been designed since the last gardening season, by going trough the new website you can explore what we are doing. In the same time we have designed a new gardening catalog.
