Systematic success

Since its founding in 1961, GARDENA has developed from a small trading company for garden tools into a globally recognised manufacturer of intelligent products and systems for garden care within a few decades. The initial breakthrough was made when introducing the Original GARDENA System in 1968. The idea of providing system solutions was continued in the following decades with the GARDENA combisystem (1977), GARDENA accu-system V12, GARDENA Sprinklersystem and GARDENA Micro-Drip-System (all 1990).

The secret of its success lies within the innovative strength of the brand as well as a consistent sales and marketing policy.
