About Weibang

Among other things, the Chinese city of Yangzhou is famous for its many well preserved Suzhou style gardens. These gardens conform to the Classical Chinese style, with landscapes constructed to mimic natural scenes of rocks, hills and rivers alongside strategically located pavilions and pagodas. The He Garden even has an open air theatre on an island in the middle of a fish pond, which is quite impressive by anyone’s standards. It is perhaps appropriate, then, that this city of horticultural wonders also plays host to Weibang, a company which specialises in manufacturing professional quality garden machines, including a wide range of lawnmowers, riding mowers, aerators, power rakes, chippers/shredders, sod cutters, lawn rollers and log splitters. Founded in 1997, Weibang rapidly expanded and is now one of the largest garden machine producers in China.

Weibang’s five key operating principles may provide some insight into the reasons for this success. The first is to always emphasise innovation and product quality, so you can rest assured that a Weibang machine will always be built to the highest standard and feature the latest hi-tech features. The second is to focus on customer satisfaction, and all of Weibang’s operations are designed to be customer-focused. This is evident in the third principle, which states that all new Weibang products should be developed to meet and exceed their customer's expectations. The fourth principle states the company’s commitment to continual improvement throughout the organisation, while the fifth regards empowering employees through training and education. Together these principles ensure that everyone at Weibang, whether in sales, management or research and development, is working together towards the same goal; the delivery of top quality horticultural machines for busy professional gardeners.

All machines are designed for maximum reliability and high performance, even in tough working conditions. Weibang also produces an impressive range of machines, making it easy to find the right lawnmower for your garden. The WB453SE, for example, is a self-propelled electric rotary mower designed for superbly quiet, emission free mowing of smaller gardens. The WB8514SB is a beast of a machine, powered by an industrious Briggs & Stratton Intek 13.5 petrol engine and featuring an incredible 85cm cutting width to make it possible to mow lawns up to 10,000m² with surprising ease. Weibang’s various chippers, scarifiers and log splitters are all more than tough enough to stand up to heavy commercial use.

Still growing and still innovating, the Weibang Company is becoming an increasingly prominent player in the international garden and lawn care market and the company’s products are already sold in over thirty countries around the world. The continuing success is undoubtedly due to their outstanding commitment to quality, and as there are few other horticultural brands which combine great performance and value for money, we can undoubtedly expect to hear much more about them in the future.
