OleoMac (Emak UK) was founded in the 70's by budding entrepreneurs, Tony Hemming and Stuart Wood, as a company dedicated to importing and distributing saw chains on the British market. The company, then called Hemming and Wood, subsequently diversified its business, extending its offer by introducing a range of products in the Efco brand (first lawnmowers and brushcutters, and then chainsaws and other complementary products) and a wide range of accessories both for brushcutters - such as market leading "Sawtec" cutting heads and nylon lines, chainsaws and ride-on lawnmowers.
