Company logo in the 1950s

The ILO-Motorenwerke in Pinneberg existed from 1911 to 1990 and were one of the biggest manufacturers of two-stroke engines in Germany. The company was taken over in 1959 by Rockwell Manufacturing Company.

ILO comes from the Esperanto word for "tool". The name was stylized as JLO in the company logo.
