The Gelders family business was founded in 1939 and produces hydraulic grabs and container emptying systems for applications in recycling, earthmoving, scrap processing and construction. It carries the brand names Bakker Hydraulic Products and Gusella Bakker and serves appealing customers such as Palfinger, Hiab, Hyva and Fassi. The company is the market leader in the Netherlands in the segment of grabs for truck-mounted cranes. Bakker has an interanational precense with its own branches in France, Italy and the United States.
In Elst, the company has a modern production location where, with various welding robots, assembly lines and its own paint shop, dozens of products are delivered per week.
The shares in Bakker have been acquired from Harm Bakker. The company was founded by his father and Harm has been involved in the company from an early age. In addition to Harm, his two children also work at the company.
This participation does not result in any changes for staff, customers and suppliers. The same people will continue to do their utmost to deliver an optimal product every day.
