Mechanical Lloyd Company Limited, a leading Motor Company in Ghana, holds the franchises for BMW, Massey Ferguson and Ford. The company was originally called Technical Lloyd, a Dutch-owned Company, operating in Ghana in the 1960s and dealing in Knapsack sprayers, BMW cars and motor cycles. The Company was purchased by Mr. R.A. Darko, a Ghanaian entrepreneur, in 1970, renamed Mechanical Lloyd and incorporated as such.

In 1977, his eldest son, T.R. Darko, succeeded him as the Chief Executive Officer of the company. He undertook a complete restructuring of the Company, strengthening its top management and mobilising financial resources for the realisation of its full potential.

In 1998 the Company upgraded its facilities in Accra by constructing, modernising and equipping its Workshop Facilities and Spare Parts Warehouse to a standard that the Company's principals described as comparable to most in Europe and certainly the best in Africa, including South Africa. The facilities were adopted as a model and a Training Centre for West Africa.

In July 2001, the Company was appointed the exclusive franchise holder for Ford to represent the complete product range of one of the largest motor companies in the world.

In 2003, the Company opened a modern workshop in Kumasi to cater for customers in the middle belt and northern sector of the country.
