The parent company behind Ryobi Power Tools is Techtronic Industries (TTI). Founded in Hong Kong in 1985, TTI includes the following brands: Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp.

RYOBI began selling cordless power tools nearly 30 years ago and has since grown into a sustainability leader in the battery-powered lawn and garden industry. They became an exclusive partner of The Home Depot in 2000 and continue to innovate every single year on new cordless power technology.

Techtronic Industries Ryobi Power Tools and Ryobi Outdoor Power Equipment are brands of Techtronic Industries, used under license from Ryobi Limited.
