Bad Boy Mowers recently announced its acquisition of MAC Co. to expand Bad Boy’s equipment offerings. MAC Co. is based in West Fargo, N.D., and is known for its SwingSteer and ProSeries attachments. Bad Boy and MAC Company are working together to enhance the current SwingSteer and expand Bad Boy’s light construction equipment lineup.
“We’re excited to bring MAC Co. into the Bad Boy family,” said Peter Ballantyne, CEO of Bad Boy. “We pride ourselves on innovative engineering, which makes this acquisition the perfect fit. We look forward to continuing to produce these best-in-class machines, now with more attitude than ever.”
Bad Boy plans to continue operation out of the MAC Company headquarters in West Fargo and will retain all current employees. MAC Company co-founders, Peter Christianson (CEO) and Tom Lykken (Chief Engineer), will remain with the company, primarily focusing on the success of the articulated loader line of business.
MAC Co. was founded in 2019 by Christianson and Lykken. Christianson has been in the ag & construction equipment industry for over 30 years, and retired from Titan Machinery where he was president & COO. Lykken has been an engineer in the ag equipment industry for 26 years, serving as chief engineer at the Fargo CNHI plan for 20 years.
They saw a need in the market for a compact loader with better visibility and minimal ground and turf disturbance, and collaborated to design the SwingSteer loader and the mid-size ProSeries attachments, according to the statement released about the acquisition.
The SwingSteer and ProSeries attachments are the latest in a series of Bad Boy category additions, including expansions across product lines like tractors, UTVs and handheld tools.
