"This gathering of great tool brands from around the world under one roof is a response to customer needs," said Bob Neely, national sales manager, Snap-on Distribution. "We're here to serve our industrial distribution customers with a product grouping that covers every aspect of tool and torque. We believe we've done that in the most efficient way by creating this business unit as a distinctive, standalone offering."
Snap-on Distribution is a business unit of Snap-on Inc. The unit's brands include tools and equipment from global makers with a heritage of manufacturing excellence. That lineup includes J.H. Williams, Bahco, CDI, ATI, Sioux Tools and Lindstrom Precision Tools.
Snap-on Distribution brands are sold through industrial distributors in Canada. The offering is designed to serve a wide range of markets, including automotive, fleet maintenance, aviation, aerospace, heavy equipment, mining and natural resources, power generation, agriculture and electronic assembly.
"Through Snap-on Distribution, we've created a one-stop shop for industrial distributors seeking a partner that can meet all of their tool needs – from hand tools and power tools through precision torque instruments," said Neely. "We are that company. Snap-on Distribution is committed to maintaining the high level of quality, service and innovation that's been associated with these traditional industrial brands."
