Idealspaten

The industrial town of Herdecke an der Ruhr  has been well known for the manufacturing of shovels and spades since the year 1900. The company's quality flagship product - a tapered-neck rolled-steel IDEAL spade, became the company's trademark and gained it worldwide acclaim from an early stage. 

After an eventful history, the company experienced considerable growth in the 1950s as a result of the sustained increase in demand for building tools. IDEALSPATEN once employed more than 500 people at its headquarters in Herdecke.

In 1971 IDEALSPATEN merged with the company A. Bredt & Co. based in Witten. Both businesses were incorporated into the current company Idealspaten-Bredt GmbH & Co. KG in Herdecke. The company has since undergone significant changes and has continued to adapt to market trends. 

IDEALSPATEN is therefore able to offer a wide range of garden and building tools available at a variety of different quality and price levels. Our advanced logistics and use of cutting-edge information technology means that our range of services is perfectly adapted to meet our customers' requirements.
