Atco (Atlas Chain Company) Limited was a British mower company which ran named as "Atco Ltd" from 1981 to 1990, making lawn mowers and garden tools. They sold a range of high quality lawn mowers including lawn and garden tractors. == History == * 1921 Charles H Pugh Ltd started making motor mowers under the tradename Atco (short for "Atlas Chain Company"), with 22 inches wide cut. The Atco motor mower was an immediate success. 900 of them were made in 1921, each costing £75. Within five years, annual production had accelerated to tens of thousands. Prices were cut and a range of sizes was available, making the Standard the first truly mass-produced motor mower. * 5 November 1981: In the early hours a fire destroyed the old Charles H Pugh site and stock. It closed and moved to Stowmarket in East Anglia, where it reopened as Atco Ltd. * 1991 Atco Ltd was renamed as Atco-Qualcast Ltd. * 1995: Atco-Qualcast Ltd was acquired by Robert Bosch GmbH and ran as Atco-Qualcast Ltd. * 2011: Bosch sold the intellectual drawings, plant, equipment and tooling for the entire existing mower range to 'Allett Mowers' division of Turfmech Machinery Limited. Allett commenced manufacturing the previous range of Atco mowers with Allett branding instead of Atco, and with new model names. The mowers previously known as ATCO were now available under the Allett name and remain so to this day. * 2011: Bosch licensed the Atco brand name to Global Garden Products Italy S.p.A., who launched a new Atco branded range of lawnmowers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Atco (British mower company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
