Who owns Matco Tools?

Matco is within Vontier’s Repair Solutions business. The 2025 report dates Vontier’s separation from Fortive to October 9, 2020, so older Fortive ownership descriptions need that date. [1]

Who actually makes Matco Tools products?

Vontier calls Matco a manufacturer and distributor of vehicle repair tools, toolboxes and diagnostic equipment. This describes a mixed business model, rather than proving every socket or power tool is manufactured in-house. [2][1]

Where are Matco Tools products made?

The reviewed July 2025 account documents the toolbox plant in the Jamestown/Lakewood area of New York. It distinguishes that production from the wider sourced tool range; the exact current factory for each hand or power tool is Unconfirmed. [3]

Is Matco Tools made in China or the USA?

US manufacture is documented for the toolbox operation, not all Matco products. The sources do not provide a universal China-versus-USA answer for every item in a distributor’s truck. [3][1]

Same factory, different label

A common distributor or similar tool design does not establish a shared factory with Snap-on, Mac or another tool brand. The reviewed Vontier reports do not provide a model-by-model rebadging list. [2][1]
