MTD was founded in 1932 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, started as a
tool and die supplier to the local manufacturing community. Through hard work, dedication, integrity and an emphasis on customer service, MTD
quickly gained a reputation as a high quality tool and die supplier, and this reputation helped the company make
the natural expansion into steel stampings. The company became involved with consumer products by supplying
stampings to the toy industry, but this expanded quickly to include complete products such as tricycles. Wheelbarrows were added to the
consumer product line in the early fifties, and this simple product line had profound effects. Satisfied customers encouraged MTD to expand the
product offerings for the yard, and in 1958 the company produced its first lawnmower.
Today, MTD is a leading, global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, which produces equipment for both the residential and commercial market.
