- Designing a great tent is one thing, but manufacturing it is another. The hub of our production process is our own Estonian facility, where we sew, set up, inspect, and approve the tents before they are shipped. In this video Petra Hilleberg takes you on a quick tour of our main tent factory in Rapla Estonia.

As the former factory and main branch manager of a specialised protective clothing manufacturer, I am extremely impressed with every facet of your production process.
Your Quality Control Inspection is unequalled and I am particularly impressed that each Specialist Professional Seamstress is personally responsible for constructing each complete tent to which they attach their name.
The only other company I know of to do this is Aston Martin, whose Engineers attach a nameplate to each engine that they have individually built.
I am also a former Motorcycle Mechanic and ran my own Motorcycle Workshop so I appreciate the pride of each of those Engineers, likewise your Specialist Professional Seamstresses.
Nightforce rifle scopes also have names attached each scope on who built/inspected it
You've made me decide on a Hilleberg tent. Your factory and quality control are amazing.
No wonder these are the best tents in the world. Amazing ❤️
Great video! Impressed by your quatity control 👍
I’m on my third Hilleberg tent now, I am addicted to them. The quality is absolutely outstanding, second to none.
Plain awesome to see. Love to see how the greatest tent is put together by a small tight knit group, instead of a huge factory where the individual care is lost.
Kind of how you make things.
@@richardjones990 I must admit I have learned by looking at how they do it. From materials to technique. I also get some insight too from their repair person. All great people. Thanks for the compliment.
Just bought 2x hilleburg tents cannot wait to use them gonna try pyrannees and norwayfro 2023 i be using my motorcycle .
bought myself a staika the other week ..... love it .... its nice to see a company involving their customers in all things hilleberg ... nice one petra
have two - basically a winter and a 3 season tent - Absolutly love them. Learned a long time ago - pay once , cry once ;) - compared with other brands, the pricing is very competive, that is, if indeed you want a quality tent, and in that regard they are the top tier.
I have an ancient Stalon tunnel tent of 1986 - and still use it. Apart from some minor things all is well. Used it in heavy snow and storms in the Alps for a very long period. Its absolutely worth the money. Thanks Petra & the entire crew!
Massage room and everything. Wow
Best tents in the world. My oldest is nearing 20 years of serious use. I wish I owned them all, they are works of art, and so, so well made.
Thanks for the shop visit Petra! Always great to see manufacturing and how employees of a product are taken care of. Your team should be proud. 💪❤
.... and that's why I chose Hillberg. If it is possible to fall in love with a tent, then it happened to me. I love my Unna tent! Great many thanks for a priceless tent!
They are great tents. Love love mine. Thanks for the video!!
I'm a huge (and very new) fan of Hilleberg. When I received my Nammatj 2 GT in November, I enjoyed reading the catalog, the stories about the company and tents. I'm starting a UA-cam channel about my outdoor activities, and my very first video will be a review and first setup of the tent. One thing I remark on specifically in the video is the name of the seamstress :) It is so nice to see this production in this video, to put faces to these stories that you write about in your catalog. Thank you for the love, thought, and care you put into each and every one of our tents.
Great products!! Thank you all so much for all you do!! 🙏🏻♥️🥰
Own four now. Probably five soon. Amazing quality. Really phenomenal.
So cool! This is real quality. The makers as well as the buyers of such a tent can be proud of their product. Screw Chinese factories. We need to bring back our jobs and raise the quality of our products simultaneously. Hilleberg sets the right example.
It is good to see them being made in-country.
So cool to see the people who made my Nammatj 3 GT that I really love and recommend! Its the best tent for a motorbike nomad like me 🤩 Thanks a lot!🎉🎉🎉
Awesome, i have recently taken delivery of my Anjan 3... love it to bits. The Quality is exemplary
A nice tour of the factory Petra ..cheers
Bought my Soulo in Germany and it’s now exploring the outdoors here in the Pacific Northwest mountains near Vancouver, BC with me. Such an exceptional design and quality.
Best tents in the world, period..
I have two Hilleberg Tarra.
Strong and beautiful in the wind.
This is a perfect tent.
I have a tarrra tent also very nice tent
Great video. You can see why your tents have such a good reputation. It's made me want one even more!
Your video really helps me to understand the whole process. Thanks.
I own currently four of your tents: Nallo 2 from 1995 (that had been quite an investment for as a student!), a Keron 4 from 2000 (my "basecamp tent"), a Staika 2012 (which served me well EVERY day during a three month Canada motorcycle trip) and a Anjan 2 since last spring for the warmer summer days. All of them are still in use, depending on the time of the year and the activity. You can be proud of your products!
That is great to hear. We are so glad that you are having fun with your tents. Hope you will have many more fun adventures with them. :)
It’s great to see how you do things at Hilleberg. Well done keep producing quality as you do :)
Well thought out and consideration given to all staff. A lot of companies could learn a lot just by watching this video.
I have a Nallo 3Gt btw 🤗
Supremely best tents made. I own the Stalon GT 2 and the Akto solo, still going strong after almost two decades. They are Sierra Nevada California proven. You feel invincible in a Hilleberg and the cheery yellow interior always brightens your day no matter what the weather.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video hillerberg tents are the best I’m currently saving for the hillerberg nammjt 3gt
All the best for 2019
Love to you all
Andy..
I have Hilleberg Keron 3GT. I love it!
Fantastic ⛺️. Great tents too 👍
Simply amazing XO
Love this! I want a Monika-tent!
arggggg... we were so close to you when we cycled from Parnu to Tallinn in 2014. Would loved to have stopped by and said hello and thank you for making great stuff to the crew there. Maybe on our next, around the world bike ride. ~Ron & Petra (Florida)
Hi petra thanks for the tour very interesting atvb to you and your team
Massage every week, wish all employers had to do this. Nice quality and manufacture, just cant justify the price of the tents. Love the enthusiasm of this lovely lady.
Looks like a nice work place.
Great video thanks for sharing. My allak 2 arrived yesterday I love it thankyou
This is why I own 2 Hillebergs (Soulo & Stika). A great company takes care of it people - those people make great products; which we customers happily pay for. I've owned many good tents, nothing comes close to a Hilleberg. I've been in some ugly weather in my Hilleberg's. I wouldn't own anything else. Keep up the fantastic work, your customers love the products.
Wow! Like a Saddleback leather bag, your children will fight over them when you're gone. 😊
Wow! Awesome, so great 😊, I’m 65 due to retire and only got into trekking in the last 6 months, lots of research to build up my eqpt, ie, who makes the best quality, and found Hilleberg! I think I have watched every UA-cam vid on Hilleberg tents😂 amazing, so glad you folks have stayed true to your vocation, making the best tents available. I’m just about to get my first Hilleberg from Wild Earth here in Australia, still deciding which is the first one, Akto or Niall, and then Alliak or Staika for ,y second for the Kayak, great tour of Factory, please consider doing a longer in-depth tour in future, very interesting 👍😊
Thank you! Glad you like it. We do have a longer video from the factory as well on our web-site. :) us.hilleberg.com/EN/videos/hilleberg-estonia-factory/
My dream tent.
Got to be the best tents ⛺ in the world 👍
Awesome great to see how they are made atb Stuart
As an architectural engineer I noticed that the factory itself is a tunnel tent (without sloping ends). Nice to meet the people who build my reliable Nammatj who make me feel safe i all kinds of weather. Petra, I would recommend some sound barriers between some departments, at least from the factory - the lunch room. Keep making great tents and videos!
Great Video as always! :). best tents in the world!. Proud owner of Tarra, Soulo and a Tarp5 !
That is a fantastic manufacturing facility Petra. Each tent has a proud builder whom puts their name on every tent. Wow!
Several years ago, I saw an Hilleberg ad in Road Runner and Motor Cycle Touring Magazine. From that ad, and after looking at countless videos, I knew the Staika and Niak tents were for me.
Love that they get massages!!! Thats brilliant!! I love it! Worth spent money!
Eso es el paraíso de la naturaleza, lástima no tenerlas en Argentina !!! Felicitaciones y éxitos !!!
아주멋지네요.장인정신이 느껴져요😍👍
Happy brand to you 2019 '
Please deliver a lot of nice videos this year.
if i could afford one i,d buy one ..akto..best tent,s ever..thanks for posting
I’d love the tent setting up job
great video team! I've yet to own one of your tents but it is high on my list atm!
Wow, Massage room. so cool!!! Happy Employees Make Happy Customers.
Happy ending though?
멋져요! Good nice awesome !
You're awesome!!
Cool place
I sooooo want one me and the wife use a snugpak bunker tent hunting in mountains but one of these will be nice someday ☺️
Best tents in the world.
I always wanted to know how they make and manufacture tents!
Genial, eine Traumhafte Manufaktur. Hand Made und wird es gelebt.
Very, very nice , and strong.....i wish i could afford to buy it..
Impressive. Now I want one. The pricing seems really reasonable to me, after watching this.
Are there going to be any videos of the Stalon XL anytime soon?
What Hilleberg does is not the most economical, but it ensures that the product is the best it can possibly be.
Pretty cool, I’m gonna check my tents now see who made them. Why did i think they were from sweden ?
what make of sewing machines do you use
00:15 No, I think they are quiet because the boss walked in. :D
Its a lot smaller than I though it would be. Petra, anything new coming in 2019?
In 2019, the Alak 3 debuts in March. ua-cam.com/video/2jZkRYqT2WY/v-deo.html
Any water to test it would be nice
Hilleberg are very god and strong tents. 👍👍👍⛺️🏕
asbus100 yes, they are godlike for sure ;)
Here south koreamany koreands like(love) Hilleberg tents.those tents are very creative and seem to be strong.and those colors are very fantastic.We koreans will buy H-tents .I think H-tent has a lethal weak point is very very expensive.the price may not down this year?Ha Ha...Good luck H-tent maker this year.
P.Si have Hilleber 'Allak(sand) and Soulo(green)they are very fantastic and useful.
A tent that is not made in China deserve credit these days 👍🏻
Okay, but where do you test the different weather conditions to detect or improve weakness in the tents? water Leaks, condensation, all those factors?
Hello. We test the tents all over the world, but mainly at our offices in Frösön, Sweden and Washington, USA. You can learn more about our tent testing in our wind video. ua-cam.com/video/3eFAyKMz314/v-deo.html If you have any specific questions, you can always email our customer service team at tentmaker@hilleberg.com. Hope that helps.
@@HillebergTentmaker ok.
Next week iam going to camp in freezing weather with my Hilleberg Akto.
Looks like Santa’s workshop I’ll have to check to see if mine was sewn by Monica :-)
Is it have a new stuff sack?🧐
한국에 공장 설립해줘요
Nice to see real work.. and not mass produced cheap nonsense made in china. I just bought my Hilleberg soulo and love it.
Any one see them make mesh inner lol
i thought they were swedish company
Headquarters and R&D in Sweden and production in Estonia, as far as I know. If they’d still produce in Sweden, the tents would obviously be even pricier.
Look like good tents but they are CRAZY expensive!! ☹️
Old people 😮
I write this with respect and love.
I personally don't want to see how an a (escape to nature) tent is manufactured by people that are literally living a life I use my tent to escape from.
The restaurant area sounds incredibly noisy to digest food comfortably.
Peace and Love
Made in Estonia with cheap labour costs and sold for inflated prices! Why aren't they made in Sweden?
why are all the employees female? Are they more efficient? Guess when you charge 1k+ per tent you can afford a masseur. Definitely increases employee loyalty, but does it increase production efficiency?
That’s obviously because sewing is a female dominated profession. The masseur probably decreases the total amount of sick leave days in the factory. Above all it’s nice to see that my tent maker of choice isn’t treating their employees like shit.
Now I can understand why Hilleberg hasn't done anything with Cuben fiber (Dyneema). They are so set in their production methods that they can't adapt to the new manufacturing requirements in the same space they construct standard (sewn) tents. That sucks too! I want a Keron 4 GT for long stay basecamps while ebike touring, but I will not buy another tent that isn't made of Dyneema. Lighter, stronger, waterproof (it will not absorb moisture) why would anyone? The biggest reason that it is still relatively expensive is that companies like Hilleberg haven't jumped in and committed to its use. That will cost them in the long run as other companies turn away from old school materials.
We constantly and continuously test new materials vigorously in the lab, in the field and in the windmachine and we have so far found that the performance attributes of our Kerlon fabric are the best that we can find.
@@HillebergTentmaker LOL!!!!! Sure, sure, because using a material that can absorb water and needs to be coated in silicone is better than using one that can't absorb moisture. Great answer, it confirms everything I said. Enjoy the ride to the bottom Hilleberg maybe K-Mart will start unloading your tents for ya. No, just kidding, they will be selling Dyneema tents too. Maybe marketing them for deserts is your best bet.
