Founded in 1958, JET
Equipment & Tools has grown in the material handling, metalworking, and woodworking markets. Purchased by WMH in 1988, the
company grew in the woodworking machinery industry while maintaining a presence in the material handling and metalworking
markets. In 1999 JET purchased Performax Products and the Powermatic Corporation. Powermatic woodworking products were first
introduced in 1921. In 2001 Wilton Machinery joined JET.
This merger will complete the fourth acquisition in the past
three years for WMH. Dennis Jacobson, currently President/CEO of Wilton Tool Company, will serve as president and CEO. The
current investors of Wilton Tool Company will remain as minority shareholders. The WMH Tool Group will employ 600 people worldwide
with annual sales of $250 million.
WMH Tool Group will go to market through five divisions covering the most important
distribution channels and product categories: Retail, Consumer Woodworking/Light Industrial Products, Industrial Woodworking,
