Klippo
Klippo is a Swedish company with a long tradition. It was founded in Malmö and has developed, manufactured and marketed lawnmowers since 1954.
It was a passionate interest combined with great inventiveness and inspiration from the USA that gave Klippo's founder, Karl Dahlman, the idea of manufacturing Europe's first rotary lawnmower. That was when he laid the foundation for the quality mentality and the wealth of ideas that helped Klippo to develop some of Sweden's finest lawnmowers and garden machines.
During the first years Klippo found its customers chiefly in and around Malmö, where there were large gardens which were highly demanding when it came to lawn mowing. Gradually, Klippo also attracted the attention of professional users all over Sweden, and many institutions administering parks, properties and cemeteries became important customers of Klippo.
Klippo machines quickly became known for their high quality and reliability. Today the need for motor lawnmowers is much greater than in the 1950s, and quality requirements are higher, both by tradition and as a consequence of the climate. Klippo still gives priority to quality and product development, and has grown to become one of the leading manufacturers of garden products in Scandinavia.
Klippo leads the market in sales to professionals, but the vast majority of Klippo users today are private customers who use their machines in their own gardens and at their summer cottages. Besides different types of lawnmowers, Klippo offers other products for park and garden care, such as cultivators, shredders, trimmers, scarifiers, hedge clippers and blowers.
Klippo also invests a great deal in making its products and production processes environmentally compliant. After careful development work, Klippo has now increased the number of its ecolabelled lawnmower models to four. The company has a turnover of roughly SEK 120 million (€12.8 million) and has 50 employees. The products are made and tested at Klippo's factory in Malmö and sold via a large number of retailers all over Sweden. They are also exported to fifteen other countries in Europe.
