This is awesome to see.. One because I pass the HQ and the many different buildings they have in the nearby area.. And have always wondered what all of the buildings were.. And figured the HQ was going to be their HQ as it was being built... And two because I like the design/manufacturing of products and seeing how it all works together...
F.Y.I.: The actual manufacturing plant is in Indiana. S.C. was the assembly and shipping plant. This is the smaller division of Ryobi Japan, which is under TTI China. Ryobi and Milwaukee Tools are owned by TTI.
I hope they treat their shop floor workers better than amazon, companies that exist purely on staff time and motion principles don't have the best reputation. on the other side, i have a shed full of ryobi products, they're all very good, if a little heavy with the small power tools compared to dewallt/Milwaukee..and the circular saw in particular is disappointing, grinds to a halt at anything more than the lightest workload. the base level battery chainsaw on the other hand is awesome. i cut through and cleared a fallen tree in the road, the trunk was at least two feet in dia. obviously i couldn't go through in one (the blades too short) but i circulated it and within 25 mins id cut it in three.removed the branches and cleared the road..and on one 5ah battery too..impressive
What do you think all that automated efficiency does? Keep up or get fired. I wonder if the shop floor workers are welcome in that fancy HQ gym? I'll bet not.
I think it's funny that the garage door is operated by a Chamberlain opener and not their Ryobi opener. I had their 2hp opener and hated it, so I replaced it with a Chamberlain as well.
I have a question - I have never seen Ryobi reply to a comment on any of their social media, ever. Is this a formal policy, and if so what is the rationale? - I'm a marketing manager and really curious, since Ryobi marketing is generally so on point.
what is this street address? I need to file a small claims suit against them for refusing to honor a warranty on a self propelled mower that has been in the shop for almost a month and now needs parts that will take 3-6 months to arrive. Their customer service stinks and calling them will be worse than trying to call the IRS as far as 1-2 hour waits and nothing getting done
i own 7 ryobi products. i am over 70 and a woman. i am seriously disturbed by the age discrimination (everyone under 30). Most of the folks i know who like your tools are women over 65. maybe the main problem i have always had with your products would have been resolved long ago if you hired testers who are older women with arthritis in their hands. your batteries are very difficult for me to remove from the charger and tools because i have small arthritic hands. Put your young engineers to work and design an adapter tool for people like me (in my mind it looks like the old ice tongs used to carry blocks of ice - you will have to google it because you are too young to remember when blocks of ice were used in the ice box to keep food cool).
A bit of age discrimination? "No one over 30 on this team". I would bet that a large chunk of the sales come from people over 30. I would rather see the recommendation of a tool being used by an experienced hand. What an insult.
![Ryobi HQ tour [you'll be surprised!]](/img/n.gif)

Amazing job Ben! Thanks for sharing the energy of an energetic place!!
I love seeing innovation at work
Good morning- bravo- breathtaking ! have a good day.😍
Amazing Video! Thank You Ben For Sharing Ryobi Headquarters and Manufacturing Plant. Very Interesting. Well Done. I Really Enjoyed It.
Glad you enjoyed, Doug
That's actually really cool that they actually use the older tools still

Awesome video Ben! Great job. What a place!
Awesome!
Great company. Thanks for showing.
I'm very impressed by all of the stuff they are doing. I recently picked up a Ryobi Mitre Saw... it's worked well.
Nice headquarters. All the Ryobi stuff I own is still working just fine.
That's great to hear

Wow. That's night and day from the old Anderson studio. Had a ton of fun designing there Summer 2004.
Love from India🇮🇳
I would like to go see this great place

No subtitle? 😢
Just if anyone wants to know this isn’t the actual ryobi
ryobi need to bring more new 12v compact tools

@@pamspurgeon7298it's because most of the older people are leading the teams now or much much higher up

They promote from within. So these guys are in intro roles and the heads of each department is over 30. They have a pretty good mix
who would've thought the shittiest quality product company had a HQ, i was expecting a car garage with 5 shady vans
It may be a nice HQ. But I would never want to be seen by the public walking in.
