Marco reflects on the trajectory of the UK ’ s business with pride : “ We ’ re part of a global organization , and our roots and head office are based in Japan . Here in the UK , however , we were founded in Ireland , and the plant has been expanding ever since ,” he begins . What started as a modest setup with four die casting machines has burgeoned into a powerhouse with a portfolio of 24 machines of varying capacities .

Decades of experience

The early years saw Ryobi primarily functioning as a supplier of ‘ cast only ’ products and customers were required to undertake additional machining to obtain the finished item . However , the company ’ s commitment to innovation became evident in 2002 when it took a step forward , and incorporated CNC-machining and assembly operations into its repertoire . This strategic move not only enhanced its offerings but positioned Ryobi as a comprehensive solution provider in a highly competitive market .

The real turning points came in 2013 and 2017 , marked by significant sales growth attributable to the inclusion of new customers in its ever-expanding portfolio . These years not only solidified Ryobi ’ s market presence but also underscored its ability to adapt to dynamic industry needs .

“ In 2020 ,” Marco continues , “ Ryobi was awarded its first project for an electrified driveline , a testament to our commitment to technology . Fast forward to 2023 , we celebrated another milestone with the award of our first project for a fully electric driveline .” This recognition aligns seamlessly with the global shift towards sustainable and ecofriendly solutions .

The story of Ryobi is not just one of growth in numbers and scale , but a narrative woven
