Manufacturing in the USA is extremely important to AMPCO Safety Tools. The business was established in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1914, and since then, American products have always been created there. The AMPCO brand of hand tools debuted in 1922, and last year they commemorated 100 years of uninterrupted hand tool production in the USA. This medallion commemorates 100 years of American safety tool production. Although they have been making safety tools in the USA constantly since 1914, and even now, after 100 years, the bulk of tools are still created in the USA, each tool is marked and qualified if created elsewhere.
