Cyclone is a quintessential Australian brand with a history dating back to 1898. Originally founded as the Cyclone Fence & Gate Company by William Thompson in Melbourne, it gained fame for its tubular steel gates and fencing. Over the decades, the brand expanded its expertise into a wide range of gardening, landscaping, and agricultural tools, eventually becoming a staple in the Australian hardware market.

In modern times, the brand has transitioned through several ownership structures. It was notably a part of the AMES Australasia portfolio. Since 2014, AMES (and by extension, Cyclone) has been a subsidiary of Griffiths Foods, and more recently, the ultimate ownership lies with the American-based Griffon Corporation. While the brand carries deep Australian heritage, its manufacturing processes are now global, involving production facilities in several countries to meet international demand while maintaining its reputation for durable, heavy-duty gardening equipment.
