The History of AL-KO

In 1931, when Alois Kober set up his small locksmith shop in Kötz, near Augsburg, Germany, he was only 23 years old. The young business owner showed great courage from the very beginning and laid a solid foundation for the future of AL-KO KOBER GROUP. Today it specializes in the production of garden equipment, ventilation and air conditioning systems, automotive components and belongs to the representatives of German medium-sized businesses that operate on a global level. The name AL-KO goes back to the founder of the company, Alois Kober, and is an abbreviation of his first and last name.

 

Even in the early years, the company paid great attention to growth and expansion. In 1961, the first foreign subsidiary was opened in Austria. By 1976 there were distributors in Italy, England, France, Switzerland and Spain. In 1983, a representative office was opened in the USA, and in 1986 - in Australia. Today, with three divisions and more than 30 offices in 20 countries, and more than 2,500 employees worldwide, AL-KO is celebrating its 90th anniversary. AL-KO KOBER GROUP today is a global technology group. In 2021, the group's turnover is projected to reach 520 million euros.

It all started with the production of the first lawn mower in 1966, and today AL-KO Gardentech is one of the leading manufacturers of garden equipment in the world. The successful development of the AL-KO brand is based on the ideas of German engineers, embodied in reality at the 30,000 sq. m. Most garden tools are made in Austria and then shipped around the world.

 

Lawnmowers called "Rasenmeister" ("Head of the Lawn") of 1972, released in bright orange, became bestsellers and were sold in millions of copies, as, however, other products: concrete mixers and hundreds of other AL-KO garden tools. The name of the lawn mower "Lawn Master" was chosen very well. So, in 1974, the national football team won the world championship, and the Rasemeister (Lawn Chief) lawn mower became the sales leader.

Since 1981, a garden tractor has appeared in the line of garden equipment from AL-KO. Now you can mow the lawn comfortably and easily, sitting on the comfortable seat of the tractor. The seated lawnmower is the logical next step in the evolution of lawn care culture. And speaking of the rotating blade system, in 1981 gardeners started shredding garden waste with the AL-KO Garden Shredder to make compost. Today, this is an absolutely common practice and no one will be surprised by this. However, shredding and recycling garden waste into mulch was new at the time.

 

AL-KO continues to develop innovative technologies, including Smart Garden ideas and expand this range. The global goal is to make gardening simple and as convenient as possible, environmentally friendly and advanced. So, in 2012, AL-KO launched the ROBOLIGNO robot lawn mower, it's not just a mower, it's a full-fledged garden helper. Following the acquisition of solo Kleinmotoren GmbH in 2014, the "solo by AL-KO" brand brings together a range of garden tools for the discerning private and professional user.

In 2022, there will be new solo by Al-KO tractors with a smart display, battery lawn mowers with WI-FI and AL-KO series lawn mowers, whose batteries are compatible with professional devices from Bosch and other manufacturers. We pay special attention to the wishes of our customers. We do not limit him in his choice of tool with a battery that is compatible with more than 300 devices from different manufacturers.
