What's "MTD, Inc."? Stamped on backside of birdcage crossbar next to VIN and Trim Tag

I found this recently, and didn't see anything in the archives about it. I'm guessing it's the company that made the birdcage, what does "MTD, Inc." stand for?

Thanks Tom.

Of all the places they could have stamped their company ID, it's interesting that they chose the spot where the VIN and Trim tags would be placed.
