Brief Description: The name ELIET is a contraction of its founder and
inspirer, Emiel Lietaer, who has put his stamp on the company since its very
beginning. Born in 1947 into a family with a remarkable eight successive
generations of blacksmiths, Emiel grew up surrounded by farm machinery and
built up broad technical experience through practical training in several
French and German machinery factories. Faithful to his roots, Emiel initially set up a
metal construction workshop for building stables. However, due to the revival
of garden culture in the 1970s, he quickly expanded into the sale of garden
machinery. It was during this time that Emiel Lietaer realized that there
were no tailor-made solutions available for many common gardening problems.
Thanks to his creative mind and technical skills, the first ELIET machines
were produced around 1980, laying the foundation for the machinery factory. A
great breakthrough came in 1986 with the company's participation in the
International Agricultural Week at the Heysel in Brussels. The continuously
growing demand for Eliet machines that followed quickly obliged the company
to make significant investments and expand both its buildings and its
headcount—a trend of growth that continues to this day. The saying, "The apple never falls far from the
tree," applies perfectly to Frederic Lietaer, Emiel's son. From an early
age, Frederic came into contact with the machines, design process,
technology, and the growing number of customers of the company his father
built. It should, therefore, be no surprise that he also grew to love the
profession just as much and that, after completing his studies, he was
determined to continue the ELIET success story for the next generation. |
