Flymo H400 Cylinder Lawn Mower

Brand Heritage and Manufacturing

Flymo, short for "Flying Mower," is a historic brand widely recognized for inventing the hover mower. The brand was founded in the United Kingdom in 1964 by Karl Dahlman. While Flymo is famously associated with its manufacturing plant in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, England, the production of various manual and electric garden tools, such as the H400 cylinder mower, is now distributed across global manufacturing sites within the larger corporate network.

Ownership Structure

Since the late 1960s, Flymo has undergone several ownership changes. It was initially acquired by Electrolux. Today, it is part of the Husqvarna Group, a Swedish multinational company that is a leading global producer of outdoor power products. As of 2024 and beyond, the Husqvarna Group remains the ultimate owner, ensuring the brand maintains its prominence in the UK and European gardening markets through its subsidiary network.
