Matco Tools is a manufacturer and distributor of quality professional automotive repair tools, diagnostic equipment, and toolboxes. Our product line now numbers more than 13,000 items. We also guarantee and service the automotive repair and diagnostic tools and equipment we sell.
Matco Tools is a subsidiary of Fortive Corporation, a Fortune 500 company and key player in several industries, including tools, environmental and industrial process and control markets.
Matco began operation in 1946 and, since 1979, we have sold our automotive tools and products directly to professional mechanics, enthusiasts, and those who value quality automotive tools through a network of independent franchised mobile distributors. Our franchisees are easily recognized in their white trucks bearing the familiar Matco logo. Today, Matco distributors operate in all 50 states, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Finding a distributor, however, is not the only way to purchase Matco tools. We sell to central purchasing operations and other institutional customers through industrial sales representatives and, as part of our commitment to innovation, Matco is proud to offer our entire catalog of automotive repair tools for sale via the Internet. It's an exciting new chapter in our story. And, just one more example of promise to be "First to market, first to the street."
Matco is proud of our quality automotive repair and diagnostic tools, toolboxes and other quality products and our partnerships with our distributors. Together, we offer the best buying relationship in the industry.
