The product range comprises more than 250 models of chainsaws, brushcutters, lawnmowers, garden tractors, hedgetrimmers, rotary tillers, rotary cultivators, flail mowers, cutterbar mowers, transporters and similar products. [1]

History

Emak was incorporated in 1992 by the merger of Oleo-Mac and Efco, two companies specialised in the production of gardening and forestry machines, both of which had been active since the 1970s in the province of Reggio Emilia (Italy). The combination of the manufacturing and managerial resources of the two companies soon allowed the new industrial complex to achieve a competitive position on the international market.

In 1996 Emak secured ISO 9001 certification and from June 1998 it has been listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, forming an international group thanks to the acquisition of 9 companies.

In 2008, following the acquisition of Bertolini S.p.A., Emak extended its product range to include the agricultural and gardening machines distributed under the Bertolini and Nibbi brand names. In the same year, newer models of petrol engineering replaced the old models. For example, gasoline-powered saws, such as the Efco 137S, Efco 143 and MT 442 have become more powerful and productive. Their weight was significantly reduced, for the possibility of long hard work. Also, the concern has released a new line of gasoline brushcutters, this is Efco Stark 30 TR, Efco Stark 35 IC and Efco Stark 40 TWIN.

Between 2005 and 2006, the group expanded its international presence by purchasing a Polish distributor and the creation of its US subsidiary.

In 2016, the budget line of EFCO chainsaws was released, these are models MTH 510, MTH 560. These models are made specifically for third world countries with low economic indicators. They are a farm series (domestic) and have piston systems from the Chinese manufacturer Kamo, and carburetors from the Chinese manufacturer Walbro. These saws are made of plastic of the middle segment, so they can be used only for domestic purposes. Officially delivered to countries such as Moldova, Pakistan, Lebanon and others.

In 2017, new models are produced for more developed countries, these are Efco 149, Efco 154, Efco MT 640 and MT 770, which are professional and industrial class and have a high motor resource of engines under prolonged loads under severe conditions. They already have Emak piston systems with Burn Right technologies and carburetors of the Japanese office of Walbro 7 series, which are equipped with four-channel fuel supply, which is a high-tech component in gas equipment.

Sites

Emak has four production plants (in Italy) and seven branches in France, UK, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, China and Brazil. These markets account for over half of the Group's total turnover with more than 5000 dealers served directly. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tractor</span> Engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort

A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery such as that used in agriculture, mining or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially tillage, and now many more. Agricultural implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanised.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Chainsaw</span> Portable handheld powered cutting tool

A chainsaw is a portable gasoline-, electric-, or battery-powered saw that cuts with a set of teeth attached to a rotating chain driven along a guide bar. It is used in activities such as tree felling, limbing, bucking, pruning, cutting firebreaks in wildland fire suppression, and harvesting of firewood. Chainsaws with specially designed bar-and-chain combinations have been developed as tools for use in chainsaw art and chainsaw mills. Specialized chainsaws are used for cutting concrete during construction developments. Chainsaws are sometimes used for cutting ice; for example, ice sculpture and winter swimming in Finland.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lawn mower</span> Grass cutting device

A lawn mower is a device utilizing one or more revolving blades to cut a grass surface to an even height. The height of the cut grass may be fixed by the design of the mower, but generally is adjustable by the operator, typically by a single master lever, or by a lever or nut and bolt on each of the machine's wheels. The blades may be powered by manual force, with wheels mechanically connected to the cutting blades so that when the mower is pushed forward, the blades spin or the machine may have a battery-powered or plug-in electric motor. The most common self-contained power source for lawn mowers is a small internal combustion engine. Smaller mowers often lack any form of propulsion, requiring human power to move over a surface; "walk-behind" mowers are self-propelled, requiring a human only to walk behind and guide them. Larger lawn mowers are usually either self-propelled "walk-behind" types or more often, are "ride-on" mowers, equipped so the operator can ride on the mower and control it. A robotic lawn mower is designed to operate either entirely on its own or less commonly by an operator by remote control.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Two-wheel tractor</span>

Two-wheel tractor or walking tractor are generic terms understood in the US and in parts of Europe to represent a single-axle tractor, which is a tractor with one axle, self-powered and self-propelled, which can pull and power various farm implements such as a trailer, cultivator or harrow, a plough, or various seeders and harvesters. The operator usually walks behind it or rides the implement being towed. Similar terms are mistakenly applied to the household rotary tiller or power tiller; although these may be wheeled and/or self-propelled, they are not tailored for towing implements. A two-wheeled tractor specializes in pulling any of numerous types of implements, whereas rotary tillers specialize in soil tillage with their dedicated digging tools. This article concerns two-wheeled tractors as distinguished from such tillers.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Flail mower</span>

A flail mower is a type of powered garden/agricultural equipment which is used to deal with heavier grass/scrub which a normal lawn mower could not cope with. Some smaller models are self-powered, but many are PTO driven implements, which can attach to the three-point hitches found on the rear of most tractors. This type of mower is best used to provide a rough cut to long grass and even brambles in locations such as roadsides, where contact with loose debris may be possible.
