Presentation of Outils WOLF
The origins of Outils WOLF
From 1922 onwards, August WOLF, originally an edge tool maker and blacksmith, developed the industrial production of garden tools based on a particularly innovative concept of "pulling" tools, with the idea of adapting to tool to the man.
For 4 generations now, Outils WOLF has been revolutionising the world of gardening with its inventions and commercial successes. From the Montodix, the first rotary blade lawnmower in Europe to the A80 ride-on mower, Outils WOLF has democratised access to the latest in gardening tools.
WOLF's know-how and the enterprising spirit of its managers have given Outils WOLF lasting success. Over the years, amateur gardeners and professionals alike have come to appreciate WOLF's products, which every year feature among teh best sellers in the field.
