Mantis acquires ComposTumbler

Mantis, a manufacturer of home yard and gardening equipment, has announced the acquisition of ComposTumbler.

Well known for its hand-held tiller/cultivator, Mantis has been offering the ComposT-Twin, a dual-chamber rotating compost bin, for more than 15 years. With the acquisition of the ComposTumbler line of products, Mantis will now be able to offer gardening and composting consumers—including those in urban areas—an expanded range of compost bins in various sizes ranging to very compact.

Originally developed in 1974, ComposTumbler has been manufactured in the United States in Lancaster County, Penn., since 1979. Mantis plans to manufacture the ComposTumbler products from its existing facility in southeastern Pennsylvania.

In addition to the original ComposTumbler, there are four other models: the Compact, the Back Porch, the dual-bin ComposTumbler2 and the Easy Spin. For more information on these products, please visit www.ComposTumbler.com.
