Snap-on Incorporated has acquired Hi-Force Group Holdings Ltd., a Daventry, United Kingdom-based designer and manufacturer of high-pressure hydraulic tools, heavy lifting systems, and torque and tensioning equipment, for approximately $58 million in cash, with the deal closing on April 30, 2026.
The acquisition extends Snap-on’s capabilities in the torque arena across industries including oil and gas, power generation, railways, mining, and heavy engineering. Hi-Force will be integrated into Snap-on’s Commercial & Industrial Group, which serves professional users performing critical tasks outside of the automotive repair market. The deal broadens the geographic and product footprint of Snap-on’s torque offerings, adding Hi-Force’s high-pressure hydraulic line to a portfolio already recognized across vehicle repair, aerospace, military, natural resources, and manufacturing applications.
Snap-on, an S&P 500 company headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin, generated $4.7 billion in sales in 2025 and distributes its products through franchisee vans, direct channels, and distributor networks under multiple recognized brands. The company also provides financing programs supporting both product sales and its franchise business. Hi-Force’s engineering heritage in heavy industrial environments complements Snap-on’s existing torque product lines and adds end-market diversity in sectors where precision fastening and hydraulic tooling are mission-critical.
No financial advisors or integration timeline details were disclosed in connection with the announcement.
