Acme Tools commemorates 75 years in business

Acme Tools is celebrating its 75th anniversary in the tool and equipment industry and its evolution from a small electric motor repair company founded in 1948 to an omnichannel retailer today.

Acme Tools has realized significant expansion and growth since its 50th anniversary in 1998, adding retail and select rental locations in Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota, and Acme Equipment, a division focusing on equipment brands, in 2013, according to the company.

"Thanks go to all our employees and customers as we mark our 75-year history in this industry," Steve Kuhlman, Acme Tools’ President of Corporate Operations, said in a statement. "Our success and growth as a four-generation, family-owned company is a credit to our loyal customers, tool and equipment manufacturers, and employees."
