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.
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.
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.

Villager product range involves carefully chosen household and garden tools, tested in real conditions, which satisfy the highest reliability standards. We also offer adequate additional equipment for their safe use. A complete experience of the Villager brand involves post-purchase services: spare parts, technical support and servicing. We at Villager company take care of our customers and their global, regional or local requirements. Wherever you are, there is a Villager office nearby that can offer specialized consulting.
Our original spare parts are developed simultaneously with Villager machines, which means that they meet the same criteria and that they are tested in the same way as the parts used in production. 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. The efficient global network with strong logistics system ensures a quick and safe delivery in the region, within 24 hours of receiving the order. Service parts may be a part of the Service Contract or can be ordered directly from our service department.
