Grades 7-12: Career Opportunities in Manufacturing

MTD, 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, producing equipment for both residential and commercial markets.

MTD's engineering expertise and state-of-the-art facilities have led to our being known for innovative and award winning products. MTD has earned a reputation around the world for excellence in quality and service.

The MTD family of brands includes Cub Cadet, Cub Cadet Commercial, Cub Cadet Yanmar, Troy-Bilt, White Outdoor, Yard-Man, Yard Machines, Bolens, Arnold, GardenWay, MTD Pro and MTD Gold. MTD products can be found in all channels of distribution such as home improvement stores, hardware stores, mass retailers, independent dealers and farm supply stores.
