Galabau is one of the key venues for the gardening and landscaping community. Inspiration is abundant with no less than 14 halls and 1.100 exhibitors. This year, the 25th edition took place and just like previous years, we traveled to Nürnberg to exhibit our brands GTM Professional, Silky and Okatsune to the large audience.

On 30 and 31 July, edition 22 of Demoforest took place. The forest of Bertrix in the Belgian Ardennes provided, as always, a beautiful green backdrop to our stand. The variety of tree species in the arboretum and hilly paths make Demoforest a unique experience for everyone.

This spring, GTM Professional is launching a unique dumper with a hydraulic tipping system. The new GTRD500 is interchangeable with our track-driven wood chippers. This makes it possible to convert a 1300R or 1800R into a dumper and vice versa. The GTRD500 has a loading capacity of 500 kg and is available with a Loncin or Honda engine.

Today we experienced a fun and educational team-building activity. The specialists from Siegurd Bushcraft & Survival were at De Wild for an outdoor cooking workshop. We made fire with our own products, prepared a meal, and eventually all sat down to eat. Back to basics, working and having a good time together in the fresh air.

Silky introduces the Zübat Ultimate, a revolutionary saw that will elevate the Zübat series to new heights. This Japanese pull saw has the familiar design of the popular Zübat, supplemented with Silky's latest technologies and a unique look.

Over the past year we have welcomed many dealers and international distributors for (technical) training at our location. During such a training day, customers learn all the ins and outs about our wood chippers or our Japanese hand pruning tools. We believe it is important that everyone who represents our brands knows how to use and maintain these products safely and correctly. This way, every garden enthusiast can enjoy his or her tools for the longest time!

GTM Professional proudly presents the 1800 E-chipper, the first battery-powered chipper for branch diameters up to 12 cm. The brand new machine is equipped with a strong Li-Ferro battery that powers both the chipping system and the self-propelled undercarriage.

GTM Professional launches the completely renewed Elephants Trunk 3, an ergonomic harness that helps gardeners to ease working with a heavy hedge trimmer or handheld leaf blower. The pulley on the lower back has a pulling force of 3 kg, which transfers the weight of the tool from your arms to your hips.

On 13 February 2023, we opened the doors for our Benelux customers. With about 100 satisfied visitors, it was a very successful day! After the reception in our showroom, customers had the opportunity to join the guided tours in our new building.

With more than 14,000 visitors, De Groene Sector is the knowledge and networking event for the green sector in the Netherlands. This year, we were again present in the Evenementenhal in Hardenberg to meet new and existing customers.

In January, the groundbreaking started and finally it's time to move to our new location in Roosendaal. Over the past months, all contractors and our team have worked hard to make this dream a reality. As of now, all departments are united under one roof to collaborate optimally and continue building a sustainable future.

From 14 to 17 September we were present at GaLaBau in Nürnberg to present our brands GTM Professional and Silky. GaLaBau is the leading international trade fair for urban greenery and public spaces. Did you miss us? Watch our aftermovie here and we hope to see you at the next edition in 2024!

From the outside it is not directly visible, but internally a lot has changed with us in recent months. Like most companies, we use an ERP system (Enterprise Resource Planning). All kinds of business processes are carried this system, such as orders, product information and accounting.

Our family business has been located in Roosendaal since 1979. From here, the third generation of De Wild has put the company on the global map. Over the years, we have grown from a national distributor to an exclusive importer for Europe and a worldwide player with our own factory in China.

We are proud to present the new 1800R, a track-driven machine for heavy-duty work. Equipped with double Honda engines, the 1800R handles rough and muddy terrain to get into the most challenging places. Add the high capacity, compact construction and turnable output to that, and the recipe for the ultimate wood chipper for professional arborists and gardeners is complete.

With the introduction of the GTS750, GTM Professional has closed a gap between the smaller GTS600 and the large GTS900. The range now consists of 10 different models. The new GTS750 has the same compact dimensions as the GTS600, but even more capacity due to a wider and heavier rotor system.

A healthy walk in the forest and planting trees at the same time? This summer Trees for All is organizing 'The longest forest walk in the Netherlands'. In this campaign week, the foundation plants 1 tree for every 5 km you walk. A great initiative that perfectly fits with our mission, we thought at De Wild.

Together with Buitenleven, we hosted a very special giveaway earlier this year. Following the compost theme, the participants had a chance to win a GTS900C compo wood chipper worth €2950. An opportunity that you don't want to miss!

Silky has developed a completely new line of folding saws, specially designed for outdoor and hunting. The new Outback series includes a Pocketboy, Gomboy Curve and Bigboy 2000.

Waste does not exist. A statement that is often quoted in the pursuit of a sustainable and circular society, but nowhere is it more important than in landscaping. With a wide range of wood chippers and a new, wheel-driven model, De Wild B.V. enables green professionals to get the best out of their green waste.

De Wild is a partner of Trees for All. The foundation uses the "1-2 Tree program" to plant a tree in one of the projects abroad for every donated tree in the Netherlands. Trees for All works with the local population against global deforestation to restore nature and offset CO2 emissions.

The GTS1300 and GTS900 wood chippers from GTM Professional are now also available as compo machines. In addition to shredding branches, the new GTS1300C and GTS900C have an additional low output to shred large volumes of soft material, such as hedge trimmings, ornamental grasses or leaves. Just as reliable, even more possibilities! Go to www.gtmchippers.com for more information.
