About GT

Family-owned. Innovation-driven. Global Capacity

Founded in 1991, GT is a family-owned business that has the capacity to engineer and manufacture systems near your own manufacturing center.

Building on our success with gas-powered lawn mower and snow blower transmissions, we are committed to continuing innovation with battery-powered solutions. We design and manufacture transmissions for a comprehensive lineup of outdoor power equipment. While our reputation was built on gas-powered transmissions, we’ve geared up to become the leader in electric power-to-drive solutions.

We’re here for day-to-day business. We’re here for the long run.

In August 2019, we acquired Actuator Electric Motors (AEM), a respected global manufacturer of electric motors and controllers for power tools and lawn & garden applications. Our combined forces of engineering expertise and manufacturing capability enable us to design and build more efficient solutions. We have evolved-to a single source supplier.

In 2021, we introduced a new offering of complete systems, combining our transmission, motor and controller power into one sleek, integrated package of components.

It’s not just what we do.
It’s how we do it.
