The robotic mower market is growing fast – and increasingly,
Chinese brands such as Dreame, Ecovacs and Mammotion are entering
with low-cost LiDAR-based models. A few of the most established
manufacturers, however, still manufacture in Europe and openly
communicate where.
On this page, we present two brands that publicly document
their production location – including the UK’s largest
robotic mower factory.
Two robotic mower brands with openly communicated production –
including the UK’s largest robotic mower factory.
Good to know: Production origin varies a lot
between types of garden equipment. Petrol and battery push mowers
are sometimes still assembled in Germany or Austria – robotic
mowers are different again: manufacturing has concentrated into a
handful of sites across Europe, while some traditional manufacturers
have recently moved their robotics division to Asia.
