Ryobi RHT6160RS electric hedge trimmer

The Ryobi RHT6160RS is a corded electric hedge trimmer designed for domestic garden maintenance. It was manufactured in the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.), consistent with the production strategy of its parent conglomerate.

Ryobi's history in power tools began in the 1960s in Japan as part of Ryobi Limited. However, due to economic shifts in the 1990s, the company sold its international power tool operations. Techtronic Industries (TTI), a Hong Kong-based multinational, acquired the North American division in 2000 and the European and Australian divisions shortly thereafter. Today, Ryobi is a cornerstone of the TTI portfolio, catering specifically to the DIY and home enthusiast market.

While the brand name is licensed from the original Japanese industrial group Ryobi Limited, all engineering, marketing, and distribution for global markets (excluding parts of Asia) are handled by TTI. The product shown was distributed by Techtronic Industries GmbH, the German subsidiary responsible for European operations.
