Tool manufacturer Stanley Proto announced it is bringing a new line of professional-grade plumbing and mechanical tools to the United States industrial market. The Stanley VIRAX brand was launched last year to the plumbing channel only, and is now available to all industrial customers through Stanley Proto distributors and sales reps.

Proto will offer several Stanley VIRAX tools to its industrial customers over the next few years. The first tools will be hand-held Pressing Machines designed to join copper, steel or PEX tubing.

“The Pressing Machines represent just the first of what will become a comprehensive line of reliable, efficient, world-class industrial plumbing and pipe trades products to meet the market needs,” stated Stanley VIRAX Product Manager Alan English in the announcement.

France-based Stanley VIRAX has been in business since 1920, with a distribution network that spans more than 70 countries. The brand was part of the Facom group of tools, which was purchased by Stanley in 2006.
