    Default job background
    Description


    Since its founding more than 100 years ago, ITW has become one of the world's leading diversified manufacturers of specialized industrial equipment, consumables, and related service businesses.

    We place a high premium on the development of innovative solutions–most of which are developed in tandem with our customers.

    And we continue to ensure that our customers receive timely, cost-effective service for the innovative products we provide.

    ITW's differentiated business model is composed of a set of unique core capabilities: our proprietary 80/20 business process, customer-back innovation, and our well-known decentralized entrepreneurial culture.

    These capabilities are unmistakably ITW—and key to our longevity and strong performance.

    ITW's products and solutions are at work all over the world, in deep-sea oil rigs, aerospace technology, bridges and wind turbines, healthcare, the spaces in which we live and work, the cars we drive, and the mobile devices we rely on.
