Ransomes Jacobsen’s long history begins in 1789 when Robert Ransome started his iron-foundry business with only £200.

In 1832 Ransomes built the world’s first lawn mower, the “Buddings Patent” and a turf care industry leader was born. Since then, Ransomes has taken pride in providing superior quality turf maintenance equipment to customers around the world.
