Twenty years ago, ETESIA made its entry into the world of green spaces. That was in 1989, and the concept was a revolutionary one - that of the first ride-on mower with direct ejection and integrated collection, the Hydro 100. The new concept made a deep impact on the mower market and rapidly became an indispensable standard-setter. The fact that after over 15 years of exclusivity, the main competitors of ETESIA have now adopted an equivalent system is a sign of how advanced we were.

ETESIA belongs to the OUTILS WOLF group, which is known for its fifty years' experience in the world of gardening. ETESIA is specialised in the designing, manufacturing and marketing of professional equipment for the maintenance of green spaces.

Our reputation for excellence in lawn mowing performance has been supported by each of our product families, and the qualities of ruggedness, reliability, user-friendliness and innovation have become synonymous with ETESIA.

Today, ETESIA has one of the best networks of specialists of  green spaces care equipment in Europe, has become a key supplier of local authorities and landscape gardeners in Europe and has acquired an exceptional international dimension with operations in over 30 countries spread over five continents.

The particularity of ETESIA also lies in its origins and size. ETESIA is the only manufacturer in France of ride-on mowers. We are an SME from Alsace with 130 staff, and our businees rivals are enormous Japanese and US multinational corporations. Despite that fierce competition, 20 years after its birth, our company continues to be a major player in its market.

The secret behind that sucess? Lasting values - a passion for people and technical innovation at the service of high-performance machines and the wellbeing of individuals and their environment.

Those are the values on which ETESIA has built its vision for the future - innovation and a commitment to improvement are spurring on our strategy. That is why, in 2008, ETESIA won the INPI Innovation Trophy in the Alsace Region and secured ISO 9001 version 2008 certification.

But ETESIA is not resting on its laurels - now more than ever, it intends to set the standards in the green spaces market in the areas of innovation and high performance. That is why, at the heart of an international recession, ETESIA and its partner OUTILS WOLF have undertaken to build a brand new research centre - the Elmar Wolf Research Centre, named after the founder of the Wolf group.
