About MTD

MTD - Modern Tool and Die, was founded in 1932 and is currently headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. MTD 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 first became involved with consumer products by supplying stampings to the toy industry, but this expanded quickly to include complete entire products such as tricycles. Wheelbarrows were added to the consumer product line in the early 1950s, 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 power lawnmowers, starting a large ripple in the business of outdoor power equipment.

Today, MTD is a leading global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, producing equipment for both residential and commercial markets. These products include walk behind lawn mowers, riding lawnmowers, zero turn mowers, lawn tractors, garden tractors, the yard bug, and more. MTDs engineering expertise and state of the art facilities have led to them being known for innovative and award winning products. Throughout the years, MTD has earned a reputation around the world for excellence in quality and service.

In 1981 MTD Products purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester IH. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. In recent years, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of outdoor power equipment.

In 2008, the MTD brands included Cub Cadet, Cub Cadet Commercial, Cub Cadet Yanmar, Troy-Bilt Troy Bilt, White Outdoor, Yard Man, Yard Machines, Bolens, Arnold, GardenWay, MTD Pro and MTD Gold.
