Don’t worry! It won’t! (At least, not that we have heard)

I sell Lufkin Tape Measures. I have noticed over the last 20 years, the other
names associated with that brand. It appeared that there were some mergers and acquisitions that I didn’t understand. Are they owned by another company? When did this happen? Where are the tapes made?
So, today I did a Google search to try to make some sense out of the history of Lufkin tapes. The search was not easy, because there seems to be another company by the name Lufkin Industries, and another one called Lufkin Trailers.
So here are the facts, as I know them today, in November 2024…….
In 1967, Cooper bought the Lufkin company.
In 2010, Apex Tool Group, LLC bought Lufkin. Crescent is part of the Apex group.
2017. Crescent Tool acquired Lufkin. Crescent Tool is still part of the Apex Tool Group, LLC.
Now, in 2024, Wiss, Lufkin, Nicholson, H.K. Porter, and JOBOX are all brands of Crescent Tools.
The tapes that we all love, are branded “Crescent Lufkin” at this time.
Lufkin tapes used to be made in the USA. I know, because the gift box used to say that in 1991 when I started selling them. Today, according to my supplier, they are made in Mexico and China.
So, without being too wordy, that is the concise history of the Lufkin Tape Measure.

This company had a hard time making enough diameter tapes to go around in the year 2022. Why? It may have had something to do with labor or materials. We never heard the final answer. Some of the parts of the Lufkin Tape Measure come from China, and some parts come from Mexico.
Finally, by the end of 2022, all of our back orders were satisfied. Some of our customers had been waiting since December 2021. Since the end of 2022, we have been able to get enough inventory of these tapes to fill all the orders that come in. 2023 was normal, and so is 2024 so far.
Being popular has always been one of those traits that people oddly yearn for. Why is it so important for us to be liked by everyone? Why can’t we just be content with our lives as they are, and not worry about what others think?

While most people have used a basic tape measure at least once in their lives, not many of us have come across a situation where we’d need to use a diameter tape measure.
