Hi Mowerfreak, remembering �the miracle of the internet� I�ve checked the email address for the contact for our Electric Chain Saw and it�s GGP (Global Garden Products). Their Website states: Founded in 2000, four established European lawn mower businesses merged: Stiga, Alpina, Mountfield and Castelgarden. Their press releases are interesting reading, about take-overs, and other info, but no mention of McCulloch on their site.
Mowerfreak, Curiosity (equals learning). I�ve tried to minimise the information on McCulloch Motors Corporation, the history is very interesting. McCulloch, has done their share of miles with �take-overs� regarding their operations and the Brand Name. It appears that McCulloch is still manufactured in America. McCulloch has been owned by: Husqvarna, Black and Decker, and at some stage Electrolux acquired Husqvarna. At another stage (1984) the McCulloch Corporations operations, were sold to a group of McCulloch managers, and private investors. March 2003 MTD Products Inc signed a distribution and licensing agreement with Jenn Feng, where MTD would exclusively produce McCulloch products in North America. March 2008, Husqvarna acquired Jenn Feng outdoor products division, gaining access to the McCulloch brand in the North American market. McCulloch is since a brand within the Husqvarna Group. Mowerfreak, isn�t it am amazing world, and I�m sure that more Members of this Forum would have a lot more information, but this still is interesting. Kind regard Sherrie
