MTD wants to turn its subsidiary Wolf Garten, acquired in 2009, “into a pan-European brand in the next ten years”. That was the declaration made by MTD’s European boss Peter Janssen at the company’s press conference yesterday (Thursday) in Saarbrücken. The new claim “Wolf Garten – Passion & Competence”, under which the subsidiary firm will present itself in future, should assist in this planned expansion. Wolf Garten will unveil three new product areas in its large-format retail area in future: “Wolf Garten Select” in the low-price segment, “Wolf Garten Ambition” in a segment in which the company was also strong previously, and “Wolf Garten Blue Power” with products that convey “a green environmental message and environmental features”, according to Janssen. The new products and product lines are to be offered for the large-format area from spring 2011 onwards. A new winter programme for hand tools is already complete.
