Twin Disc started in Racine, Wisconsin, in 1918 with the introduction of the twin disc farm tractor clutch, and has grown with America while helping America grow. From enhancing the performance of early farm tractors, road building and construction equipment, to marine transmissions, to post-war industrial development of the free world, Twin Disc has developed an outstanding reputation for quality and reliability.
