Specimen Stock printed by American Bank Note Company. Snap-on Incorporated is a prominent American company that specializes in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of premium tools and equipment intended for professional use across various sectors of the transportation industry, which encompasses automotive, heavy-duty, equipment, marine, aviation, and railroad industries. The company is headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and also markets lower-end tools under the Blue-Point brand. Its main competitors include Matco, Mac Tools, and Cornwell Tools.
Snap-on Inc. has manufacturing facilities located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Elizabethton, Tennessee, and Elkmont, Alabama. Wheel balancers and tire changers are produced in Conway, Arkansas, while torque products are manufactured and assembled in City of Industry, California. The company also produces tool storage cabinets at its plant in Algona, Iowa. The Milwaukee facility is responsible for the production of sockets, extension bars, pliers, screwdriver blades, and bits. Additionally, Snap-on manufactures hand-held electronic diagnostic tools for the computer systems utilized in most modern cars and heavy-duty vehicles at their Kenosha site. Software development occurs in the United States, Ireland, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and China. Automotive emissions control diagnostics equipment is produced at its diagnostic facility in San Jose, California. In Europe and Brazil, Snap-on diagnostic products are marketed under the Sun brand. Snap-on tools are not available in retail stores; they can only be purchased through authorized dealers. For Snap-on, the process of shopping for tools has traditionally been time-consuming. Franchisees, equipped with a van filled with products for sale, can visit their customers' workplaces on a weekly basis. The Snap-on TechKnow Express is a van that displays the full range of diagnostic equipment offered by Snap-on, while the Rock 'n Roll Cab Express is a truck that showcases various types of tool storage and customization options, including larger units that cannot fit in a standard franchisee van. These trucks are generally assigned to specific regions and operate within those areas alongside individual franchisees.
