Electric, Zero-Emission Machines Drive Growth
in the Commercial Electric Mower Market
WAUKESHA, Wis., Dec. 8, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Mean Green, a leading battery-powered,
commercial-grade turf care manufacturer and a Generac Power
Systems (NYSE: GNRC) company, today announced the opening
of a new facility in Hamilton,
Ohio to meet the growing interest and demand for
electric-powered, zero-turn mowers. The new facility, located
in Butler County, is approximately
10 miles from the company's existing operations in Ross.
The new 100,000-square-foot facility will focus on manufacturing
Mean Green's ride-on and stand-on electric mowers, as well as a
comprehensive line of accessories. Production is already underway,
with more than 30 jobs added with the new opening and plans to hire
more than a dozen additional team members by the end of 2022.
"As consumers focus on the electrification of everything in
their lives, the lawn has not been overlooked," said Matt Bieber, president of Chore Products for
Generac. "Mean Green Mowers has led the charge for cleaner,
environmentally friendly, commercial-grade mowing solutions since
our start in 2009, and we're excited to further expand our
operation and continue supporting our customers with quality
commercial-grade products that deliver electric power that lasts
all day."
The expansion supports the trend of the lawn and landscape
market to focus on heavy-duty, electric-powered equipment. The
Hamilton facility will manufacture
the full line of Mean Green products, including the new NEMESIS
zero-turn mower, which can cut up to five acres on a full charge
and offers the power equivalent of a 28 HP gas mower.
