MTD Products - Our Conference Host
MTD Products, 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 markets. MTD's engineers and state-of-the-art facilities have led to their being known for innovative and award-winning products.
