Oregan Tool, Inc., originally established as Oregon Saw Chain Company in 1947 by Joe Cox in Portland, Oregon, has grown into a global leader in manufacturing and marketing replacement parts, equipment, and accessories for various industries. The company began with an innovative approach to saw chain design inspired by natural timber beetle larva activity. Over the decades, through strategic expansions and acquisitions—including major purchases such as Frederick Manufacturing Corp., SpeeCo, and KOX—Oregan Tool, Inc. broadened its market presence and industry reach.
Following a period of growth that led to renaming it Omark Industries in 1957, the company was acquired by Blount, Inc. in 1985, shifting focus more toward manufacturing rather than construction work. The rebranding to Blount International marked this transition as they expanded their operations into new markets and regions, ultimately adopting the name Oregon Tool in line with its foundational legacy.
Today, Oregon Tool is recognized for its innovation, quality leadership in forestry equipment such as saw chains, bars, sprockets, and is also a dominant figure in agricultural implement production and concrete cutting technology. Under renowned brand names like OREGON®, Carlton®, KOX, ICS®, and Woods®, it continues to impact industries worldwide from its base in Portland with the mission of ensuring durability and reliability across all its product lines.
The company's significant contributions remain influential as outlined in reports detailing a robust distribution network across more than 110 countries. As a registered Delaware corporation incorporated on February 25, 1987, Oregon Tool maintains compliance through regular filing updates such as name changes and amendments with the relevant authorities, emphasizing its dedication to operational integrity and corporate governance.
