About GT

Family-owned, customer-focused, innovation-driven

Founded in 1991, GT is a family-owned business with a global presence.

Building on our success with gas-powered lawn mower and snowblower 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 our new GT One lineup, a series of integrated options, combining our transmission, motor, and controller engineering power into one sleek package. Simply focus on your machine’s chassis. GT One is customizable to make it plug-and-play ready, reducing your engineering load and shortening your time to market.

Our Four Principles

  • Never settle

    We never stop seeking new and better ways to make transmissions lighter, stronger, more reliable, and more affordable. Through constant innovation, we help our customers keep their competitive edge sharp.

  • Unquestioned quality

    At every price point, our products are designed, tested and proven like no other. They are maintenance-free for life, built to outlast OEM equipment, and known for steadfast reliability that impresses manufacturers, dealers, and end users.

  • Service above all

    Customer service is our most important product. Whatever your challenge or opportunity, we’re here to meet your needs. Our goal is to earn your trust and your business, day after day, without fail.

  • Standards of Excellence

    Our founder Robert Blanchard instituted an ongoing culture of innovation. His visionary designs and enlightened approaches to wielding contemporary raw materials have generated multiple patents and an elite group of multitalented engineers in our Research & Development Lab.
