Quality is the result of our attitude: The history of ISEKI-Maschinen GmbH in milestones
The predecessor of ISEKI-Maschinen GmbH, Hoffmann OHG, opens an office in Düsseldorf and starts selling ultra-modern ISEKI brand single-axle tractors. An ISEKI department is established at Hoffmann OHG.
Hoffmann OHG becomes an ISEKI direct importer.
The company presents its products for the first time at international exhibitions, such as the DLG trade fair.
The first tractors from ISEKI arrive - the front-steered TX 1300 model with an impressive 13 hp output at the time and the equipment of a two-cylinder diesel engine with four-wheel front axle, which was still unknown on the German market. Technologically ahead of the usual German models at the time, the tractors met the needs of 25 customers in the first full business year of 1974. This is the beginning of ISEKI tractor sales.
Hoffmann OHG changes its name to ISEKI-Maschinen GmbH, thus recognising the importance of ISEKI products for the business. The construction of a new double hall at the Meerbusch-Osterath site with a large showroom represents a major step into the future.
The successful SF device carriers are added to the range.
In 1990, we expand our sales network to the five new federal states and organise the first training courses for the newly acquired dealers. In September 1991, we open our eastern branch in Kleinburkartshain.
With its ISEKI brand tractors, ISEKI-Maschinen GmbH is the market leader in the segment of tractors up to 50 hp for the first time.
We are developing the ICT 50, an universal implement carrier for municipal tasks.
ISEKI-Maschinen GmbH becomes general importer for FERRIS and distributes the first zero-turn mower.
The construction of a new hall with an area of approx. 5000 m2 for the assembly of new machines and for a warehouse opens up new possibilities.
We take over the general distribution of CANYCOM brand long grass mowers. From this year, we will also be the general distributor for Goupil electric vehicles (Polaris Group) in Germany.
ISEKI-Maschinen GmbH receives the GaLaBau Innovation Medal for the VITRA vacuum sweeper.
We are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ISEKI Group and are offering ISEKI anniversary tractor models with special equipment as a limited edition to mark the occasion.
We receive patent protection for the underfloor heating system we developed for the TXGS 24 tractor.
Since 2023, the ISEKI Maschinen GmbH facility in Meerbusch has officially served as the European headquarters (ISEKI Europe). From here, the company sets the course for innovation, outstanding service, and strong partnerships throughout Europe—close to its customers and ready for the future.
ISEKI-Maschinen GmbH takes over the general distribution of radio-controlled electric mowers of the RAYMO brand. As of this year, we are also the exclusive distributor in Germany for AllTrec brand all-electric large-area mowers and implement carriers from Dutch manufacturer FPS-Electric B.V.
What began in 1926 with the vision of Kunisaburo Iseki in Japan has developed over a century into a global success story in modern turf and grounds maintenance. On the occasion of our 100th anniversary, ISEKI-Maschinen GmbH is celebrating this long-standing tradition of outstanding quality. To mark this milestone, we are presenting two exclusive promotional machines: the high-performance SXG 327 mower tractor with low discharge and the versatile TM3267 AL ECO compact tractor.
