Text version of the map

  • Ryobi (Brand): Ryobi power tools are a Techtronic Industries (TTI) business using the RYOBI trademark under license from Ryobi Limited; TTI Outdoor Power Equipment is a confirmed mower manufacturer. [1][2]
  • Ryobi → Ryobi ownership (Owner): Ryobi Limited owns the RYOBI trademark; TTI’s power-tool business uses it under license. Trademark ownership and tool-business operation are different relationships. [1]
  • Ryobi ownership → Ryobi manufacturing (Manufacturer): TTI’s Ryobi tool business; Health Canada identifies TTI Outdoor Power Equipment in Anderson, South Carolina, as manufacturer of the recalled 40V HP mowers. [1][2]
  • Ryobi manufacturing → USA — affected 40V HP mowers (Factory): US manufacture confirmed by Health Canada; Anderson is the manufacturer’s address, not a separately verified factory street address. [2]

Who owns Ryobi?

TTI’s 2025 report says RYOBI is a registered trademark of Ryobi Limited used under license. Its tool business appears in the same report as Milwaukee. Describing TTI as the outright owner of the trademark would erase the licensing distinction. [1]

Who actually makes Ryobi products?

Health Canada provides a model-specific manufacturer: TTI Outdoor Power Equipment, Anderson, South Carolina. The affected mower list includes RY401014 and RY401015 variants, with a defined serial-number range. This is direct evidence for those mowers rather than the whole ONE+ range. [2]

Where are Ryobi products made?

The recall explicitly states United States as the origin of affected mowers sold from February 2021 through January 2025. Anderson is the listed manufacturer’s address; the notice does not give a separate street address for the assembly line. [2]

Is Ryobi made in China or the USA?

Some Ryobi equipment is confirmed US-made: the recalled 40V HP mowers. TTI’s 2024 report discusses manufacturing investments in China, Vietnam, Mexico and the US at group level, but does not allocate every Ryobi tool to those countries. A specific China-made tool needs its own model evidence. [2][3]

Same factory, different label

Milwaukee and Ryobi are both in TTI’s tool portfolio, with different market positions. The shared operating group does not prove an identical motor, battery interface or assembly line. TTI’s report distinguishes its flagship tool businesses and their products. [1]
