KLEIN LEADERSHIP




KLEIN TAKES PRIDE IN CONTINUING TO BE FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED...

Klein Tools was founded 160 years ago by a German immigrant, Mathias Klein. His
descendants, now into the sixth generation, have led the company ever since its
founding. The Klein family takes great pride in carrying on Mathias' legacy of
creating and manufacturing the highest quality tools and related products. Their
commitment to the company extends far beyond the family's interest, and is
centered on maintaining and growing the company's loyal customer following and
dedicated workforce.







THOMAS R. KLEIN


CHAIRMAN & CEO



In January 2015, Thomas R. Klein (Tom) was elected Chairman of Klein Tools,
leading the strategic direction of the nearly 170 year old family-owned and
family-managed company. Between 2006 and 2015, Tom Klein was President of Klein
Tools, focusing the company on new products, new markets, international
expansion and acquisitions in the USA, Australia, Brazil and Mexico. The focus
on new products, the global expansion and domestic acquisitions, including
Heritage Cutlery, other equity investments and asset purchases, drove sales
increases of 100% globally.

Previously, Tom was executive vice president, materials and logistics, secretary
and treasurer, responsible for global material acquisition, logistics and
distribution of products starting in 2001. This included responsibility for the
management of warehouses, import and export operations, transportation, capital
spending, inventory control, customer service and banking relationships. Prior
to this, Tom was named vice president of materials and logistics in 1991. In
this position he automated the operations in the Cedar Rapids, IA fulfillment
and distribution plant, and built the company’s supply chain and customer
service operations.

Tom serves as Chairman of the Klein Tools' board of directors, as well as the
secretary and treasurer of the Klein Tools, Inc. Charitable Foundation, which
focuses on donations to medical research and development, organizations for the
needy, and youth substance abuse education.

Tom has a bachelor's of Business Administration degree from Texas Christian
University and a Masters of Business Administration degree from Lake Forest
Graduate School of Management.
