Tuff Torq Expands Factory for Electric Drive and TZ Production

(January 23, 2023) Morristown, Tennessee – Tuff Torq Corporation, a group company of Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd., has celebrated the opening of a new expansion of its existing production facilities. The expansion adds approximately 20,000 square feet to the current building and will be utilized to meet the high demand for Tuff Torq’s TZ series transaxle production, as well as forging the way for the company’s new eDS (electric) product line.

Tuff Torq’s factory expansion adds a new zero-turn transaxle (TZ series) production line to meet near-term production demand, and provides space to add an additional line in the future. New technology will be utilized to improve efficiency by reducing major sources of downtime on the new TZ line.
