History

The origins of Vredo date back to 1947, when B. de Vree, as a farmer’s son, started a contracting company in Dodewaard. The activities were very diverse and standard machines were regularly adapted to handle the heavy Betuwe clay soil. This adaptation of machines gradually turned into the development of completely new machines. The contracting company increasingly became a manufacturing company and, later on, a machine factory.

In 1976, De Vree produced its first self-developed machine. This was an overseeder called Vredo. In the late 1980s, the operating principle of the overseeder was also used by Vredo for the development of the slurry injector. These two developments characterise the rapid growth the organisation has experienced since then. Even today, this technology is still considered innovative and progressive and evidence of its effectiveness is growing.

Mounting a slurry tank on a three-wheeled Horsch in 1989 was the first activity in the field of self-propelled vehicles. Since 1994, Vredo has been developing and producing the self-propelled vehicles completely in-house, with the development of the 4556, 5536 and 7138 as its highlights to date.
