About Ampco

In 1914, inventor August Littman made an exciting discovery:
a new bronze metal, hard enough to cut steel. The inventor
and a small group of entrepreneurs formed the American Metal
Products Company, and achieved recognized leadership in the
production of aluminum bronze alloys.
The American Metal Products Company (later called "Ampco")
produced the first-ever line of aluminum bronze safety hand
tools in 1922. This marked the beginning of Ampco Safety
Tools. The unmatched strength and durability of the aluminum
bronze tools won quick acceptance in industrial markets.
Today, our safety tools are manufactured in Garland, Texas
and in Germany. Ampco Safety Tools continues our commitment
to you with the highest quality safety tools and service.
