True Temper Lawn & Garden Tools date back to 1808 when the True Temper Hardware Company began as "The Old Stone Forge," and later became The American Fork and Hoe Company. The company’s name was changed in 1949 to True Temper reflecting the newly developed process of tempering steel.
The Ames and True Temper Companies merged in March of 1999 after U.S. Industries, Inc., Ames' parent company at the time, completed the purchase of True Temper Hardware Company from Huffy Corporation. Ames True Temper manufactures a wide variety of long-handle and hand-held garden tools:
axes mauls splitters
carts and wagons
hand cultivators
hand trowels
hand weeders
hoes spading
hoses
picks
rakes
scrapers
shovels
spades
forks
wheelbarrows
In January, 2002, WindPoint Partners, a private equity firm, purchased Ames True Temper from U.S. Industries. Since that time, three acquisitions have been completed to complement the Ames True Temper product portfolio and enhance sourcing capabilities.
In November, 2002, Dynamic Design, the market leader in foam and plastic planters, was purchased. Outdoor Inspirations, marketer of garden hose featuring Microban antimicrobial protection, was acquired in May, 2003. And finally, Greenlife, a marketer of lawn and garden tools, was acquired in August, 2003.
