Hi Sissiko,
Your Sales man seems to be up front with you. I looked it up and found the following .....................
"Global Garden Products (GGP) is the largest European manufacturer of powered garden equipment products. It has an international headquarters near Venice, Italy and 15 subsidiaries in Europe and Asia.
GGP is the result of the merger of four important players in garden equipment: Castelgarden and Alpina from Italy, Stiga from Sweden and Mountfield from the UK.
The company specialises in the development, manufacturing and distribution of ride-on and walk-behind lawnmowers. It is also present in the hand-held garden equipment market, in spare parts and in professional and winter products.
The group distributes its products in more than 80 countries around the world. Its largest markets are the UK, Germany, France, Italy and the Nordic countries. GGP employs around 1,800 people."
