Lommel – What began as the vision of a single entrepreneur has today grown into a European powerhouse. Eduard's Trailer Factory from Lommel is officially the market leader in Europe for braked trailers up to 3,500 kilograms.
And this year the company also celebrates its 25th anniversary. A double celebration for the giant from Lommel.
Founded by Eduard Saris: from idea to industry
The company was established 25 years ago entirely independently by Eduard Saris. No family business, no acquisition, no merger — just an enterprise built from scratch.
With a clear vision: to produce high-quality, robust trailers on an industrial scale, without compromising on quality.
What began as ambition grew into a production operation that today sets the tone in Europe.
Market leader in the heaviest segment
The title of market leader didn't come out of nowhere. EDUARD is the European market leader in the segment of braked trailers up to 3,500 kg — the highest weight within the BE driving licence class.
This is precisely the segment where professionals operate:
- Construction companies
- Landscapers
- Machinery rental firms
- Industrial service providers
Anyone in Europe looking for a professional braked trailer today almost automatically ends up with Eduard.
Production at European top scale
The factory in Lommel is among the largest specialised trailer production sites in Europe. Every year, thousands of trailers leave the production lines heading for dealers spread across the continent.
The success is based on:
- Smart modular production
- Large-scale procurement
- Maximum standardisation
- Continuous investment in automation
By combining scale and efficiency with robust build quality, Eduard has managed to position itself structurally above the market.
25 years of dominance – and no end in sight
The 25th anniversary marks not a moment to pause, but a milestone in a growth story that is still accelerating.
From an independently founded enterprise to the largest trailer manufacturer in Europe in just a quarter of a century.
25 years of Eduard. Market leader in Europe.
The giant from Lommel proves that vision, scale and boldness can dominate a European industry.
