Correa further commented, “We generally make in the markets where we sell, and Snap-on has been committed to American manufacturing since its founding in 1920. Within the United States, we have thirteen manufacturing locations with capacity expansions at four of those, including Elkmont, AL, Algona, IA, Elizabethton, TN, and Milwaukee, WI. Additionally, our primary cause as a company is the upskilling of the American workforce around manufacturing and career and technical education (CTE). We are dedicated to elevating and expanding the makers and fixers who are essential to America’s past, present, and future. We further this important cause through our partnerships with SkillsUSA, the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3), the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), and many others.”
