The Rototilt was invented in Sweden in the early 1980s by the Norgrens under the family owned and operated company named Noreco, and has become the standard in Scandinavia. The concept has recently gained popularity in other countries such as Holland, Germany, UK, Canada and since 2002, are now being distributed in the United States.There are only two major manufacturers of the Rototilt concept today (although similar products are sold by various competitors); Indexator, (founded in 1973 by Alan Jonsson) who purchased Noreco in 1992, hired the Norgren brothers, and registered the brandname Rototilt, and Engcon,(founded in 1993 by also ex-Noreco employee, Stig Engstrom) who started manufacturing their own product using only "tiltrotator" to avoid trademark infringments.

Other companies manufacturing their version of Rototilt on a smaller scale include ABL, Steelwrist, Sandco, and SMP, under various product names as tiltrotator, swingrotator, swingotilt, etc., although it's still commonplace on the market as a genericized trademark to call all versions a Rototilt.
