At Apex Tool Group's Lexington facility, manufacturing excellence meets global collaboration. This site proudly produces the Cell Clutch and Cell Core tools, essential for mid-range tightening applications in both the U.S. and European markets. A mirrored production strategy with their Chinese counterpart ensures localized manufacturing, reducing costs and bypassing global logistics hurdles. On the floor, the facility's M3R Whisk Snip machines are a testament to both speed and precision—churning out up to 500 pieces an hour. Cleco tools, crafted in Germany, play a crucial role in maintaining consistent torque across every unit, enhancing product reliability. Just as important is the focus on ergonomics: automation and innovation have significantly reduced operator strain and workers' compensation concerns. The result is a leaner, safer, and more efficient operation, delivering higher quality to customers and better working conditions for employees.
