Lincolnshire, Ill. - July 2006 - Klein Tools, a leading manufacturer of professional hand tools and occupational equipment, has moved its corporate headquarters from Skokie, Ill., to a new 64,000-sq. ft. facility located on a seven-acre site at 450 Bond Street in Lincolnshire, Ill, a northwestern suburb of Chicago.
According to Klein Tools Chairman and CEO Richard T.

In addition to the 64,000-sq. ft. office space, an additional 57,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose building was constructed for light industrial use.
The new office building houses the executive team, domestic and international sales and marketing, corporate finance and accounting, corporate human resources and loss prevention, corporate purchasing and office services, customer service and sales support, and corporate IT.
