History
Wright Tool Company was founded in Saginaw, Michigan in January 1948 in a small basement of the Wright brothers. By November of 1949 the couple moved their business to a location on Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan and opened their first storefront. As the company grew, additions were made to the building until they moved to a larger location in February of 1970.
Today, Wright Tool Company is in Warren, Michigan, and has evolved into a full life cycle solution provider serving all industries, institutions, and service trades.
Wright Tool Company (WTC) has been serving the market’s needs since 1948, building an impeccable reputation for delivering quality goods in a timely manner. We have established relationships with a large body of tool and equipment manufacturers, enabling us to offer an extensive range of products to our customer base.
WTC was instrumental in the start-up phase of the Automotive Dealer Programs as developed by Ford Motor Company (Rotunda Dealer Equipment), American Motors (Amserve Dealer Equipment) later becoming Chrysler’s Dealer Equipment Teams PSE. In the 1980s WTC was asked to supply the General Motors Dealer Equipment Services Program. We have transitioned this mantra of quality and customer service into the government sector in which most of the WTC’s business is transacted today.
WTC has been an approved government supplier since the 1960s in both the Prime Contractor and subcontractor roles. We have supported major efforts such as AM General’s 2-1/2 and 5 Ton Wrecker contracts and are one of the premier providers for the “Best In Class” GSA 51V Hardware Superstore schedule and FSSI program.
