Milwaukee is a legendary American brand originally founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1924 as the Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation. While the brand is iconic for its heavy-duty power tools, it has expanded significantly into Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including the high-grip nitrile gloves shown here.
Today, Milwaukee is a subsidiary of Techtronic Industries (TTI), a global leader in power tools and floor care based in Hong Kong. While the brand maintains a strong engineering presence in the USA, manufacturing for their accessories and PPE items is distributed globally, primarily across China, Vietnam, and Malaysia, to meet international demand.
Ownership of the brand transitioned from the original founders to various entities over the decades, including Amstar and Atlas Copco, before being acquired by TTI in 2005. This strategic ownership has helped Milwaukee become a dominant global force in the professional construction and safety markets.
