Since 1906 Porter-Cable continues a tradition of producing innovative, high quality, professional power tools, equipment and accessories. That tradition of operational excellence continues today as a global manufacturer of a wide range of products with world-class performance, durability and reliability. We are a customer-focused organization that values its customers and their input. Customer feedback is vital to future innovation and continual improvement, not only in the manufacture of our product, but also in all our business processes. We are committed to understanding and responding to our customers' needs.

As an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer, quality is a mindset and a "way of life" which we build into everything we do. Quality is built into all stages of our product and processes beginning with our "New Product Introduction" program and continuing throughout the product's life. We perform vigorous tests at every stage of the process in the product's life cycle to assure our product exceeds the performance and reliability standards expected by our customers. Customer satisfaction is always our primary objective.

Porter-Cable Innovation
At the forefront of technological advances for over 95 years, Porter-Cable has introduced such noteworthy products as the world's first portable belt sander in 1926 and the first right-hand, helical-gear circular saw in 1929.

This passion for progress flows through every product we offer. Our product line is the result of a dedicated team of researchers and engineers listening to what tool users have to say. This team is constantly looking for ways to improve our existing tools and dream up new ones.

One example of this ingenuity is the Tiger Claw, the world's first variable angle reciprocating saw. 180-degree joint adjustment and 360-degree blade rotation put every cut within reach. Expect more of these types of innovations from Porter-Cable driving into the future.

Today, Porter-Cable marks the standard of excellence against which all other tools are judged … an honor we've worked hard to achieve… and one we'll work even harder to keep.

The Power Behind The Tools
Porter-Cable uses state-of-the-art CNC machining centers and motor winding cells to produce the highest quality components possible. Aluminum components are carefully machined and processed to provide close tolerances and surface finish to assure proper fit and function. Critical gears and pinions are meticulously fabricated from select cut steel and then heat treated for long lasting product life. Our heavy-duty series universal motors are professionally designed and processed to provide maximum horsepower as well as optimum balance to result in a smooth running product.

With our world-class manufacturing principles, we link through a common value system that drives objectives in priority of safety, quality, delivery, and cost through every process in our operation. We are positioned to take advantage of our core competencies: critical steel components; powder painting; die-cast machining; motor manufacturing and assembly just to name a few.

The vision for continued operational excellence in the future employs LEAN Manufacturing principles and techniques to forge a world-class environment. We fuel our lean manufacturing initiative through our Kaizen, continuous improvement events. Whether it be an event implementing standard work into a specific cell or assembly line, employing cellularization, focused problem solving, implementing KANBAN material control, employing SMED (Single-Minute-Exchange-of-Die) quick equipment change-over techniques, these events are reshaping the operational atmosphere to drive the vision of one-piece flow and continuous improvement throughout all our processes.

The true ability of any manufacturer to be successful- and remain successful- rests in the people who make the organization work. The most loyal and dedicated people in the world work daily to assure the best products are manufactured and shipped to our customers who appreciate and demand fine craftsmanship.

Great people, world-class processes, top-notch quality products and customer intimacy, that's what Porter-Cable is all about.
