About Us

The Sneeboer team, mainly composed of family members are internationally renowned by its highest quality, stainless-steel, hand-forged garden tools enjoyed by discerning gardeners.

The company, located in Bovenkarspel (North Holland), will celebrate its 110th anniversary in January 2023.

The hallmark of Sneeboer is the synergy between new and old. Sneeboer artisans constantly seek new challenges, striving to develop innovative new tools, to improve on those tools that have proven their worth down the centuries and to resurrect tools which have been forgotten about.

Skilled master craftsmen use traditional hand-forging techniques to transform new ideas into reality, new markets and modern methods are continually investigated and evaluated. The 4th generation has now taken over the company following the words of Arie Sneeboer who founded the company in 1913: “I know how to improve”. Another famous quote he used to say is: “One who once has held a Sneeboer tool in his hands never wants anything else.”
