June, 2009 -- Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation has created a new business unit dedicated to launching productivity and enhancing solutions in the Test and Measurement category. New products will launch in July, strategically targeting Milwaukee's core end-users with a focus on Electricians and HVAC/R Technicians.

The first wave of the new Test and Measurement line includes innovative alkaline products, and applies Milwaukee's industry leading LITHIUM-ION technology to deliver additional tools on the growing M12 cordless platform. Furthermore, Milwaukee® will continue to develop this category as they move forward in their corporate commitment to become a leader in the Test and Measurement category.
