About Us
The beginnings
Founded in 1969, this company produces products known and appreciated worldwide. The business started with the production of hydraulic pumps and spare parts for machine tools, immediately emphasizing the use of the best technology and highest precision available on the market.
The turning point
In 1981, we entered the nursery sector with the creation of the hydraulic hammer, the first tool specifically designed for extracting root-balled plants. A step made possible by the solid experience gained over the years in mechanics and hydraulics.

Our first prototype of treedigger
In 1989, Holmac revolutionized the nursery sector with the first prototype of a treedigger: a machine capable of replacing the work of 20 people, increasing efficiency and reducing operator fatigue. Its real strength lies in the quality of transplantation: thanks to the custom-designed blade, it allows for the balling of the plant, a technique that strengthens the root system, improving the plant’s establishment and vitality.

International leader
Holmac is now an international leader thanks to a wide range of tracked treediggers, available in various configurations for root ball cutting, with diameters ranging from 25 cm to 180 cm.
Almost all models are equipped with lateral movement of the cutting unit, allowing plants to be extracted even in the narrowest rows.
All Holmac treediggers are also equipped with a patented system for track opening and advancement, designed to lift and handle large plants efficiently.

The current headquarters
Since 2002, the company has been based in a modern facility, strategically located.
Production is based on high-tech machinery and highly specialized personnel, to ensure maximum precision in every phase of processing. A modern assembly line also ensures punctuality and efficiency in deliveries.
Thanks to rigorous tests carried out throughout the entire production chain, Holmac machines offer long-lasting reliability, an expression of a corporate philosophy always oriented towards quality.

Holmac reaches 50!
In 2019, Holmac celebrated 50 years of uninterrupted activity in the design, construction, and marketing of hydraulic machines serving the nursery sector.
A significant milestone, the result of the constant dedication of the founders, who believed from the beginning in a reliable, innovative, and high-quality product.
Even today, thanks to the strong synergy of what we proudly call the “Holmac Team,” the people behind our products continue every day to imagine and build the machines of tomorrow.
