Ryobi Cordless Lawnmower 2x18V

Ryobi is a world-renowned brand specializing in power tools and outdoor equipment. Originally founded in Japan in 1943, the Ryobi Limited company began as a manufacturer of die-cast products. However, the power tools division that consumers recognize today underwent a significant transformation in the early 2000s.

Technotronic Industries (TTI), a Hong Kong-based multinational corporation, acquired the rights to the Ryobi brand for power tools outside of Japan. While Ryobi Limited still operates in Japan, the lawnmowers and power tools sold globally are managed by TTI. Manufacturing is primarily centralized in China to leverage large-scale production efficiencies, though the brand maintains engineering and design centers globally. This ownership structure places the brand under a major global conglomerate that also owns brands like Milwaukee and AEG.
