Company description

Snap-on is a leading global innovator, manufacturer and marketer of tools, equipment, diagnostics, repair information and systems solutions for professional users performing critical tasks including those working in vehicle repair, aerospace, the military, natural resources, and manufacturing. From its founding in 1920, Snap-on has been recognized as the mark of the serious and the outward sign of the pride and dignity working men and women take in their professions. Products and services are sold through the company’s network of widely recognized franchisee vans as well as through direct and distributor channels, under a variety of notable brands. The company also provides financing programs to facilitate the sales of its products and to support its franchise business. Snap-on markets its products and brands worldwide in more than 130 countries. Snap-on’s largest geographic market is the United States. In addition, Snap-on has a meaningful presence across continental Europe and in the Asia Pacific region, as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom. The company began with the development of the original Snap-on interchangeable socket set and subsequently pioneered mobile tool distribution in the automotive repair market, where well-stocked vans sell to professional vehicle technicians at their place of business. Since that time, our principal value-creating mechanism has been to observe work and translate the insights gained into creative solutions that make essential tasks easier, meeting the needs of rapidly-evolving workplaces.
