Towa Industries

What Towa Industries does

Towa Industries, Inc. is a privately-held commercial hardware company headquartered in Campbell, California, founded in 2019, that designs and sells smart charging and mobile battery power systems for outdoor power equipment fleets transitioning from gas to battery operation. The company's product portfolio is anchored by the Power Distribution Manager (PDM), a commercial-grade smart charger that uses patented No-Trip™ technology to automatically throttle and rotate amperage draw across multiple battery chargers on a single 120V/20A or 240V circuit, preventing breaker trips and enabling parallel rather than sequential charging. Around the PDM, TOWA has built an integrated system that includes Battery Power Stations (1800W and 3000W mobile units), 2500Wh Expansion Battery Packs, Mobile Trailer Kits (3000W, 5500W, and 8000W configurations capable of charging 25-66 batteries per cycle), the PowerVault charging cabinet (8.0 Plus and 10.5 Plus models with IPX5 water resistance and optional fire suppression), the Universal Power Head Kit that converts gas-powered shafted equipment to battery operation, and 200W/400W foldable solar panels for off-grid charging.

Towa Industries serves commercial landscaping contractors, municipalities, general contractors and fleet operators, and golf course/sports turf managers. Customer evidence is concentrated in California and includes small and mid-sized landscaping operators (Enviro Views, Dinsmore, Gothic, Gachina), a government deployment with the City of Oakland, and an affiliated enterprise dealer (Gardenland Power Equipment, whose CEO Richard Ogawa is a TOWA co-founder). The company has positioned its products as compliance-enabling infrastructure for California AB 1346 and parallel state-level small off-road engine regulations in New York and Washington.

The business model is primarily hardware sales through a hybrid distribution structure: direct e-commerce via a Shopify storefront at towatools.com and a tiered channel network including national distributor SiteOne Landscape Supply, regional distributors WCS Distributing, Horizon Landscape Supply, and Pellenc, and a network of authorized equipment dealers across the western US. Products are sold as one-time purchases at price points ranging from $10 accessories to $14,995 PowerVault units. In May 2026, TOWA received a strategic ownership investment from Oso Robotics to combine Oso's commercial electric mowers and AI-powered autonomous platforms with TOWA's charging infrastructure, signaling an ecosystem pivot toward integrated commercial electrification.

• STIHL: STIHL is a global incumbent in gas and battery-powered outdoor equipment, and its chargers are explicitly listed as compatible with TOWA's PDM and PowerVault. While STIHL focuses on equipment rather than charging infrastructure, its scale and dealer network make it the dominant ecosystem player TOWA integrates with—and a potential vertical integrator threat.

Emerging players

• EcoFlow: EcoFlow is a fast-growing portable power station and home energy storage company whose products overlap directly with TOWA's Battery Power Station and Mobile Trailer Kit offerings. While EcoFlow is more consumer-focused, its scale and R&D in portable battery power make it a credible emerging competitor in the commercial mobile power segment.
• Goal Zero: Goal Zero is a portable solar power and battery station maker serving outdoor, emergency, and commercial applications. Its product category directly overlaps with TOWA's Battery Power Stations, solar panels, and mobile trailer kits, making it a relevant emerging player in the mobile power space TOWA addresses.
• Jackery: Jackery is a leading consumer and prosumer portable power station brand with global distribution. While primarily consumer, its expansion into higher-capacity commercial units overlaps with TOWA's Battery Power Station and Mobile Trailer Kit offerings, making it a credible emerging competitor in portable commercial power.

Others

• SiteOne Landscape Supply: SiteOne is the largest national distributor of landscape supplies and an authorized TOWA distributor. As both a channel partner and the dominant wholesale buyer for professional landscapers—the same end customer TOWA targets—SiteOne is a critical ecosystem participant whose strategic priorities directly shape TOWA's go-to-market scale.
