Flymo was launched in spring summer season 1965 and is now part of husqvarna. Their success has been brought about by a determination to be the innovators within the garden care industry, making the lives of gardeners easier.The British invention of the hovercraft, was the inspiration for Swedish lawn mower manufacturer Karl Dahlman to invent a flying lawnmower. A lawn mower floating on a cushion of air…Flymo, for short – a brilliant idea in 1964, and a brilliant idea today! It wasn’t long before the idea ‘took off’ and the company grew from strength to strength during the 1970’s, building lawnmowers in its UK factory, where they are still manufactured today.
