Heritage & History
Greenlee was founded in Rockford, Illinois in 1862, making it one of the oldest continuously operating tool manufacturers in the United States. The company began making woodworking tools before transitioning to the electrical trade tools that define the brand today. As electrical infrastructure became central to American industrial and residential construction in the early twentieth century, Greenlee grew into the preferred supplier for the tools that electricians used to install, maintain, and repair electrical systems.
Rockford, Illinois has been a manufacturing city since the mid-nineteenth century, and Greenlee has been part of that manufacturing tradition for longer than most American companies have existed. The company became part of Emerson Electric's professional tools group while maintaining its Rockford manufacturing roots.
