Q.E.P. acquires Ludell
Q.E.P. Co. Inc. announced its acquisition of the Ludell brand of striking tools.
Ludell tools have been distributed in the U.S. for over 100 years and will continue to be manufactured and distributed from Q.E.P.’s Oklahoma City facility acquired in connection with its acquisition of Nupla Corporation earlier this year.
Nupla manufactures and distributes professional grade, fiberglass-handled, specialty industrial-grade hand tools.
"The addition of the Ludell brand of products provides a great complement to the both the Nupla and Hisco brands and follows the path of the company's strategy to extend our reach into the hand tool and lawn and garden markets,” said Jamie Clingan, senior vice president of marketing. "With either its signature yellow fiberglass handles or finely finished hardwood handles, Ludell offers a complete line of sledge hammers, drilling hammers, axes, mauls, log splitters and much more that cater to both the professional and DIY markets."
