A Global Manufacturer    

 

MTD, founded in 1932 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, started as a tool and die supplier to the local manufacturing community.

 

The company became involved with consumer products by supplying stampings to the toy industry, but this expanded quickly to include complete products such as tricycles. Wheelbarrows were added to the consumer product line in the early fifties, and this simple product line had profound effects.

 

Satisfied customers encouraged MTD to expand the product offerings for the yard, and in 1958 the company produced its first lawnmower.

 

Today, MTD is a leading global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, producing equipment for both residential and commercial markets. Their engineering expertise and state-of-the-art facilities have led to the brand being known for innovative and award winning products.

 

MTD ride-ons were first introduced into New Zealand in 1987 and the brand is firmly established as New Zealand's No. 1 ride-on mower.
