In 1985, Mr. Horst Julius Pudwill and Prof Roy Chi Ping Chung GBS BBS JP founded Techtronic Industries (TTI) with the clear vision of owning and building a portfolio of globally recognized brands. Today, their passion and commitment has resulted in products that have become household names in the commercial construction, home improvement, and industrial power tool markets as well as the home maintenance and commercial floor care markets.
Their steadfast dedication to unsurpassed quality and core strategies of driving continuous innovation, operational improvement, and leadership development have propelled all of TTI’s brands, including Milwaukee Power Tool, a 150-year-old company and now a billion dollar worldwide brand annually.
