Victa is one of Australia’s most recognised names in lawn care – founded in 1952 by Melbourne engineer Mervyn Richardson, who invented the lightweight rotary mower specifically for Australian lawns and conditions. After years under American ownership, Victa returned to Australian hands in 2025 under Queensland-based Roy Gripske & Sons – a fitting home for a brand that’s been part of the Australian backyard for over 70 years. As an authorised Victa dealer, Karl’s Mowers stocks the models you won’t find at the big box stores – backed by our in-house servicing team.
