Hako Ground & Garden

What Hako Ground & Garden does

Hako Ground & Garden (legal entity Hako Sweden AB) is a Swedish distributor and service provider of professional-grade surface care machinery, organized into three divisions: Cleaning (Städ), Golf, and Park & Mark. The company sells and services a portfolio of more than 300 SKUs sourced from premium international brands — Toro (125+ products), Sisis, Groundsman, Wiper Premium, Foley (Air2G2), E-Z-Go/Club Car, Ventrac, Foresteel, and Clean Spectra — alongside its own Hako-branded Scrubmaster, Sweepmaster, and Städrobot lines. Its technology surface spans battery-electric and autonomous cleaning robots, GPS-RTK and vision-based robotic mowers, precision turf aerators (including air-injection systems), verticutters, sprayers, top dressers, utility vehicles, and pressure washers; Hako integrates and supports these systems rather than developing the underlying autonomy software.

The company serves professional cleaning and facility management firms, golf course operators, municipalities, sports clubs (football, athletics, padel, tennis), and — through a consumer reseller network — homeowners. It operates five sales and service offices across Sweden (Halmsted headquarters, Kungsängen, Kumla, Malmö, Västerås) with a regional service organization divided into three districts, a nationwide spare-parts operation, and a hotline (020-25 00 00). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales through category-specific product specialists, authorized consumer resellers, and a secondary-market 'Hako Reuse' channel on the Mascus marketplace.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales (new and used equipment), professional services (service agreements, fault reporting, warranty, spare parts), and managed-services-style financing (leasing, functional leasing, rental, functional rental). Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices; the GTM is sales-led, supported by a Swedish-language website, four social channels, a demonstration calendar, and trade-show/event participation such as the Green Roadshow 2026. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, investor, or revenue data, and is currently investing in a new and larger headquarters in Halmstad alongside successive product launches (Scrubmaster B35/B50 in 2025, B20i upcoming, E-Z-GO golf cars in 2026).

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Belrobotics: Belgian manufacturer of professional robotic mowers for sports fields and golf courses. Comparable technology proposition to Hako's Wiper and Toro Turf Pro robotic lineup and an emerging alternative brand in the same Swedish end markets.
• Pellenc: French manufacturer of professional battery-powered landscaping and grounds-care tools. Overlaps with Hako's battery-electric Park & Mark portfolio and signals the technology direction Hako is positioning into via Ventrac and Wiper.

Broad incumbents

• Nilfisk: Danish global manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment (scrubbers, sweepers, vacuums). Directly comparable to Hako's Städ division products (Scrubmaster, Sweepmaster) and competes in the same Swedish facility-management channel.
• Stiga: Swedish–Italian outdoor equipment manufacturer with robotic mowers and battery handheld tools. Comparable in product categories (robotic mowers, battery handheld) and competes for the same Swedish consumer and prosumer demand.
• Husqvarna Group: Swedish-headquartered global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, robotic mowers, and professional cutting tools. Overlaps with Hako's Park & Mark and consumer lawn categories and shapes competitive dynamics in Sweden.
• Kärcher: German global manufacturer of professional and consumer cleaning equipment. Competes with Hako's Scrubmaster/Sweepmaster lineup in Swedish facility management, hospitality, and industrial segments.
• Ransomes Jacobsen (Textron): UK/US manufacturer of professional turf maintenance equipment for golf and sports. Competes with Hako's Toro/Sisis/Foley turf portfolio at the brand level across Swedish golf courses and sports facilities.

Direct peers

• Reesink: Dutch equipment distributor that is also an exclusive Toro partner with a comparable multi-division professional turf and grounds portfolio. Most structurally analogous peer given shared Toro exclusive-distributor model and similar service-network approach in Northern Europe.
• Agrolux: Swedish-based distributor of professional grounds and agricultural equipment. Direct Swedish peer competing for the same municipal, sports, and contractor customers with overlapping brand portfolios.

Regional players

• Ibéricos Group (Toro Iberica): Iberian distributor of Toro professional turf and grounds equipment. Highly comparable offering (Toro, irrigation, golf, municipal) operating in a different geography, making it a strong regional analog to Hako.
