Proudly serving the contractor, craftsman, and do-it-yourselfer for over 75 years.
Description
OUR ORIGIN
From 1948 to today, from Acme Electric Motor, Inc. to Acme Tools, from North Dakota to Minnesota and now Iowa, and everywhere in between, our company has faced challenges, overcome obstacles, and innovated more than anyone else for one purpose: to be the best, the Acme, of the tool and equipment industry.
Branding aside, Acme Tools is a company built on relationships with people. Acme Tools exists to serve American doers, contractors, woodworkers, and do-it-yourself professionals with the best tools available so they can always do their jobs the right way the first time.
As Steve Kuhlman, now President of Corporate Operations and Co-Owner, remembers it: “Our success and growth over 75 years is a result of emphasizing the importance of customers and providing exceptional customer service. That was my grandfather’s guiding business principle when he founded Acme Electric Motor, Inc., and it’s even more relevant today in our stores and digital platforms.”
“Acme Tools has remained at the forefront of the tool and equipment industry for 75 years through innovation, dedication and hard work,” said Paul Kuhlman, president of merchandise operations.
The guiding principle of Acme Tools is a simple yet powerful phrase: The Right Tools Do It. This reflects the company’s belief that the right tools are essential for quality workmanship, a philosophy that has been at the heart of Acme Tools success and continues to drive its future.
Do Your Best Work.
