Efco outdoor power equipment

Efco is a prominent brand in the outdoor power equipment (OPE) industry, specializing in machinery for gardening, forestry, and small-scale agriculture. The brand was originally established in 1978 in Italy by Giacomo Ferretti, focusing on the production of brushcutters and trimmers.

In 1992, Efco merged with its Italian peer Oleo-Mac to form the Emak Group. This merger consolidated their technical expertise and expanded their global reach. Today, Efco represents one of the four key commercial brands under the Emak Group S.p.A. umbrella. The brand's products are manufactured across several international production units, primarily in Italy and China, to serve a global network of distributors and retailers.

The ultimate ownership of the Efco brand lies with Emak Group S.p.A., which is headquartered in Bagnolo in Piano, Italy. Emak is a publicly traded company on the Italian Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana) and is recognized as a leading global manufacturer in the green care sector, marketing over 250 models of equipment ranging from chainsaws and lawnmowers to specialized forestry tools.
