R&D (Research and development)

Research and development repre­sents a key competitive advantage that has made Villager one of the leading brands of garden and power tools in Europe. We are continually committed to development and in­novation, and we invest in research and development on a large scale. We implement the most efficient strategy for new product develop­ment (testing and designing prod­ucts – manufacturing prototypes – quality control and testing proto­types pilot production- final quality control and testing), all of which has enabled us to achieve flexible constructions and development of parts.

Design and construction

Market demand analysis has allowed us to have greater insight into types and characteristics of products our customers require, and our design team has been trying to meet those demands accordingly. We use the most modern constructing software in the process of construction. It enables us to parametrically make changes on the product or its parts and to follow the effect of those changes live. Besides the construct­ing with the most modern software tools, we measure and analyze ten­sion forces in parts and frames so as to remove all possible flaws and offer only products of top quality to the market. 

Production and quality control

We have reached a high level of pro­duction quality which is healthy and environmentally conscious. We ana­lyze machine parts and frames in detail and in such a way we ensure the quality of products and minimize or timely remove all the potential flaws. We produce machines and tools that meet all the applicable rules, regulations and standards, by applying strict quality control. More than a million satisfied customers are a sound proof that design and production of our products guaran­tee absolute reliability and longevity.

In this way, tolerance and marginal performance of characteristics which should be met are ensured, as well as the compatibility of the machine and spare parts. Spare parts are also available after the production of a machine has been discontinued, so you can easily use the machine for many more years.
