Honoring Gene Elson: Founder of Penn Tool Co. Today, we celebrate the birthday of Gene Elson, the visionary founder of Penn Tool Co. What began as a small tool store on Market Street in Newark, NJ, has grown into an online superstore with over 500,000 products—thanks to Gene’s hard work, dedication, and passion. Gene was happiest at trade shows, connecting with people, and traveling the world. He especially loved visiting manufacturers in Japan, fostering relationships that brought high-quality tools to the United States. We miss him dearly and honor his legacy on this special day. Penn Tool Co. is what it is today because of his direction, determination, and love for the industry. Thank you, Gene, for inspiring us all! 🛠️✨ #PennToolCo #LegacyOfPrecision #GeneElson #ThankYou #ToolIndustryLeader https://lnkd.in/gzpEnYED
