Founded in 1979, the company pivoted from electronics to flooring tools after a bathtub
edging kit success ignited its growth from a garage in New York.
It cemented its place in retail by supplying Home Depot in 1982 and added Lowe’s in 1993, driving a wave of nationwide expansion.
Acquisitions throughout the ’90s and early 2000s—from Roberts to O’Tool to Vitrex—expanded its reach into Europe, Australia, and Latin America.
Today it designs, manufactures and distributes over 3,000 products—trowels, saws, adhesives, underlayments—for both professionals and DIYers.
