ICS® Diamond Tools and Equipment wordt omgedoopt tot Oregon®

De marktleider op het gebied van precisiesnijden van buizen en beton grijpt terug op zijn erfgoed en neemt de naam aan van het vlaggenschipmerk waarmee het 75 jaar geleden allemaal begon

PORTLAND, Oregon.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– ICS® Diamond Tools and Equipment (ICS), de marktleider op het gebied van precisiesnijden van buizen en beton, heeft vandaag aangekondigd dat het de naam zal veranderen in Oregon®, een divisie van Oregon Tool, Inc. ICS® werd in de jaren ’90 opgericht als een project binnen Oregon® en door deze overgang kan het bedrijf blijven evolueren terwijl het voortbouwt op zijn erfenis onder de naam van zijn vlaggenschipmerk. Het verenigen van de twee merken is een natuurlijke volgende stap in het herdefiniëren van wat mogelijk is op de markt voor doorslijpmachines.

ICS® Diamond Tools and Equipment Is Rebranding to Oregon®

The industry leader in pipe and concrete precision cutting is harkening back to its heritage and assuming the name of the flagship brand that started it all 75 years ago

PORTLAND, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– ICS® Diamond Tools and Equipment (ICS), the industry leader in pipe and concrete precision cutting, announced today that it will rebrand to Oregon®, which is a division of Oregon Tool, Inc. ICS® was founded as a project within Oregon® in the ’90s, and this transition will allow the company to continue to evolve while building on its legacy under the name of its flagship brand. Unifying the two brands is a natural next step in redefining what’s possible in the power cutter market.

The inspirational power of nature is what led Joe Cox to found Oregon Tool, Inc. and leave his mark as the creator of saw chains that revolutionized the industry. In the ’90s, a small team of people saw an opportunity to build on Oregon Tool Inc.’s strong foundation. The result was the creation of ICS®, which forged a path in designing and developing power cutters for individuals working with concrete and iron pipe. At the heart of it, ICS® has always been Oregon®, just a different brand.

“Intrepid, bold thinking is a deep-seated belief at ICS®, and we’re excited to continue providing that innovation, quality and performance as Oregon®,” said Paul Tonnesen, CEO of Oregon Tool, Inc. “We’re confident that the global recognition Oregon® has established will seamlessly integrate our brands and further showcase our tools as the top choices for professional and do-it-yourself users.”

We are taking bold steps that enable us to evolve and doing so as Oregon®. What’s important to remember is that while the ICS® name is changing, the commitment to our people, customers and product is not. We’re still the same great team supporting our customers when they’re in need of a superior tool for the job at hand – we’re just doing it with a great new look.

While we officially transition to the Oregon® brand on October 24, there will be a period where both ICS® and Oregon® products live in the marketplace together. To learn more, visit oregonconstruction.com.
