Wright Tool Links With MMG

Wright Tool, a manufacturer of heavy-duty, professional-grade hand tools, has partnered with Morris Marketing Group (MMG), an independent rep firm serving the Southern states. The 42,000-square-foot distribution facility – located in Greer, S.C. – joins Texas and California as strategic distribution centers for the Ohio-based Wright Tool.

"Wright Tool’s mantra is 'perfecting performance' for our customers,” says Terry Taylor, CEO and president, Wright Tool. “Like our other regional distribution centers in Texas and California, our Southern distribution center can handle strategically stocked products based on our customer's vertical and geographic markets."

Wright says that, along with fulfilling 98 percent of all orders in 36 hours or less, the partnership will help Wright Tool achieve greater profitability for its distributor customers.
