Aebi - The company history
The company's history dates back to the 19th century. The foundation stone of today's Aebi brand was laid in 1883 by Johann Ulrich Aebi, whose workshop initially built sowing and horse mowing machines and other mechanical equipment. After 1950, the Aebi company specialised in the construction of motorised mowers for agricultural work in hilly and mountainous areas. The Terratrac, a globally successful hillside implement carrier, was launched in 1975 and is still a top product of the Aebi brand today. The Schmidt company was founded in 1920 by Alfred Schmid as a car repair workshop. Initially specialising in snow clearing, the company has continuously expanded its product range since the 1950s to include summer service machines and special machines. The two companies merged in 2007, creating a powerful group of companies with around 1300 employees.
The Aebi company today
Today, Aebi Schmidt is a globally active company with a very diversified product programme. The agricultural machinery division includes hillside implement carriers, multi-purpose transporters and motorised mowers. The performance spectrum of motorised mowers ranges from light and slim devices for narrow and difficult to access mowing areas, through various mowing widths and weight classes, to powerful motorised mowers for wide cutter bars and large areas. Depending on the model, Aebi motor mowers are optimised for demanding work on steep slopes or professional mowing and working on flat terrain. Maximum equipment reliability and the harmonisation of all components make Aebi mowers versatile tools. When it comes to mower blades, the company relies on high-quality mowing technology from ESM. Aebi uses patented ESM double blades and ESM finger bars in its motorised mowers. The professional quality of ESM components guarantees a long service life, uninterrupted work on steep slopes and an efficient work process for Aebi equipment in all areas.
