About Yanmar
Today Yanmar is a $6 billion company with over 15,000 employees worldwide. Our primary focus in North America is in the following product and service categories: agriculture; marine; power generation; construction, and industrial engines.
One hundered years ago, Yanmar began a legacy of innovation and environmental activism, efforts, that made this company beyond compare.
In Japan, oil has always been a scarce commodity. The engines for agricultural use in the early 20th century burned oil and were cumbersome, heavy and difficult to start. As a result, they did little to improve the efficiency of the workers who planted and harvested rice.
Finding the exisitng options unworkable, founder Magokichi Yamaoka created a new type of diesel engine. In 1933 he successfully developed the world's first small diesel engine with a cold-start mechanisn. And since it used less oil than the conventional versions, it fulfilled his tenet: "To conserve fuel is to serve mankind."
It also established an unspoken, but loudly understood, tone for our company; Yanmar would be better than the rest.
From the Performance Link Technology of our engine drive train to our Yanmar team in Georgia, we believe you'll find every aspect of Yanmar to be of exceptional quality. So feel free to compare our products to others. Yanmar alone runs above the competition.
