Mowhawk Mowers – Weapons of Grass Destruction The Mowhawk journey started over 10 years ago when founder , Abe Harms , began plans for his next endeavor after getting Norstar up and running with his three brothers . After working as a partner at another nationally recognized and ranked trailer manufacturer for over 20 years , Abe decided he wanted to go out on his own . His love for mechanics , process control and a keen eye for detail over the last few decades turned some old farmland into a massive 500k + sq ft operation in Northeast Texas for trailers and truck beds and another 500k + sq ft facility in Mexico . Currently a humble 10,000 sq ft plant adjacent to Norstar houses the mower startup . Over the years , Abe and his teams have vastly expanded their manufacturing knowledge and expertise , and it became clear that their skills and dedication could lead to something bigger .
Mowhawk Mowers was born from a simple idea : create high-quality , reliable lawn mowers that stand the test of time . Although the brand may be new to the market , the veteran and experienced team is rooted in various high end manufacturing operations with decades of experience in the same or similar industries . Their small team of engineers and designers boasts over 100 years combined of industry specific knowledge in mowers and deck design while their manufacturing operations teams has an additional combined 200 years of service under their belts in process driven assembly and construction techniques . Each member of the team shares the same commitment to quality and innovation that has driven the family businesses to the pinnacles of their current manufacturing spaces . Mowhawk has been prototyping and testing mower designs since late 2021 and have continuously improved by adapting methods and techniques to create a machine with countless hours of product development . The result is a hands down winner in the current lawn care marketplace .
What sets Mowhawk Mowers apart is dedication to marrying traditional craftsmanship with modern technology inside the manufacturing process . Mowhawk mowers are engineered using advanced materials and innovative techniques , yet each unit benefits from the meticulous attention to detail that comes from years of experience . The company believes that the best lawn mowers are those that combine time-tested principles with cutting-edge advancements . Their manufacturing process begins with rigorous design and engineering and current models are both ANSI and EPA compliant and subjected to thousands of hours of torture testing at the hands of industry professionals .
