As early as 1898, great-grandfather De Wit was making tools for farmers on the land. Even then, ditches and verges had to be cleaned to ensure sufficient drainage of the land. And when the construction of greenhouses started, the demand for the duckweed fence, dredging bracket and ditch hook came from Westland. It was done mechanically for a while, but in the context of sustainability we see an increasing demand for these "old-fashioned" products.
