As interest in environmental pollution issues increases worldwide, efforts to minimize environmental pollution continue. Even engines that bring us convenience are not free from environmental pollution issues. According to the National Institute of Environmental Education, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by motorcycles and small cars is 23times higher, Hazardous chemicals are said to be 279times more.

The same goes for common gardening machines. This machine uses an engine similar to that of delivery motorcycles, which are mostly gasoline engines under 50cc , even equipped with a 2stroke engine that mixes oil with high pollutant emissions. The pollutants emitted here have fatal effects on people and the environment, ranging from fine dust, VOCs, and carbon dioxide..

Hus was established in 2005, and since 2018, a brand of battery-powered gardening machines, span>'Igo Power'is imported and supplied to Korea. In the early days of the business, engine-type gardening machines were imported and distributed. However, in the case of engine-type gardening machines, there were several environmental problems, so I wondered if there was a product that was more environmentally friendly and beneficial to people, so I used electricity, which is eco-friendly energy. I confirmed that there is a gardening machine that does this. If there is a product with as stable performance as the existing engine, I want to help domestic consumers 'Igo Power 'The brand was imported·distributed.

Compared to engine-type products, Ego Power has excellent performance and beautiful design, so it is highly competitive. In order to import and distribute in Korea, 2016since 2016, batteries, chargers, etc. Started full-scale sales from 2018.
