Vontier owns 6 companies, including Matco, and describes themselves as “a global industrial technology company focused on smarter transportation and mobility.” Danaher spun off Matco as part of Fortive, and then Fortive recently spun off Matco to form Vontier. I also find myself thinking about how Matco Tools has had quite a few different corporate owners over the past few years. It seems to me that this partnership is a strong sign all those efforts have been paying off. Milwaukee Tool has steadily introduced new cordless power tools, hand tools, lighting products, and other products aimed at transportation maintenance techs. If they can’t sell you an Infinium tool, maybe they can sell you a Milwaukee cordless power tool. It sounds to me that maybe Matco has been losing market share. Maybe there will still be an sold-your-door convenience, but I doubt that Matco dealers will be able to offer the same prices or promotions as other Milwaukee Tool dealers. While all of this sounds like big and exciting news for Matco, it’s too soon to see if or how this partnership will benefit users or Matco customers. The company’s move to incorporate Milwaukee cordless tools will ensure the continuation of a long-lasting tradition of providing customers with only the best tools on the market.
Hundreds of Milwaukee products? How many SKUs are they really going to add to their trucks for immediate purchase? What does any of this have to do with Infinium? I suppose this is to reassure customers that Matco’s Infinium cordless power tools will continue to be sold and supported. Matco’s press release mentions their Infinium tool line three separate times. The addition of hundreds of Milwaukee products presents a wonderful complement to the performance and flexibility of our Infinium line.
