MILWAUKEE — Tools are so important these days that when Milwaukee Electric Tool Co. held its fourth annual symposium for products used in its core markets of electrical, plumbing, remodeling, and HVAC, it attracted 50 plus trade press from seven countries.
The presence of representatives from Latin America and Canada, as well as the United States, was not lost on Steve Richman, company president, who, in his opening remarks, noted that the “United States economy is at a standstill while Canada is growing and Latin America is the biggest boom around.”
