KT Pro Tools announces name change

July 5, 2011
As of July 1, KT Pro Tools LLC will become King Tony America.

KT Pro Tools LLC, is a branch of the King Tony Tool Co, Ltd, of Taiwan, one of the world's largest privately owned hand tool manufacturers, currently selling in 113 countries. The King Tony brand is known and respected globally, but in the United States and Canada the company has been known as KT Pro Tools. On July 1, the company will be known globally as King Tony America.

Business at KT Pro has expanded dramatically this year. KT Pro Tools will continue to be the company's brand for high polished chrome. The brand and these tools were created specifically for the U.S. and Canadian markets.

However, the King Tony branded products will expand rapidly as the inventory of general hand tools increases.

Mighty-Seven, or M7, is a new brand of air tools that the company will be introducing to the U.S. and Canada beginning in July.

Although the new name and logo will begin appearing in advertising, promotions and emails this month, signage and literature will continue to promote each of the company's three brands.
