Ogura Industrial Corporation, a U.S. subsidiary of Ogura Clutch, Ltd. exhibited at GIE+EXPO 2021 trade show (A.K.A. Lawn Mower Show). This trade show is the largest of its kind in North America that showcases various Outdoor Power Equipment. Most of Ogura Industrial’s main customers exhibit at this show to showcase their riding lawn mowers on which Ogura’s GT clutches are used to engage and disengage blades that cut the grass. The scale of this market is known to be over 30 billion dollars. It is one of the major industries in the U.S., which is growing every year.

Many lawn mower makers set up outdoor booths as well so that attendees can test ride their lawn mowers. The show also attracts many dealers from all over the country and regular consumers from the local area. Some of the booths offer free drinks and even live music, creating a festive atmosphere throughout the show.

Ogura Industrial exhibits at this show every year and showcases various electromagnetic clutches and brakes. In addition to the indoor booth, it set up an outdoor booth to display the “Monster Mower,” which was designed and built by a lawn mower racer whom it sponsors.

The show was unfortunately cancelled last year due to Corvid, so this year, it was very busy with many attendees who seemed very eager to get back to some normalcy.
