The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
AL-KO began in Germany in 1931. Kneißl and Lauterbach built the first machines. They made garden equipment and small engines. The brand grew into lawnmowers and tillers. Their rotary hoes became the standard tool. European farmers trusted them for decades. Today AL-KO operates across multiple continents. The company builds chainsaws, pressure washers, and trailers. Garden machinery remains their core business. They rank twelfth among Tools, DIY & Home Improvement brands globally. AL-KO appears in six thousand six hundred forty-nine tracked brands. German engineering built their reputation. It endures.
