18 Aug A farewell to King Tony South Africa and a special thanks for their invaluable support!
We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to King Tony for their invaluable support and contribution to motorsport at Killarney over the past three years.
Some interesting facts we reflect on highlight your company’s remarkable journey and contributions to the motorsport industry.
King Tony Tools was founded by Charles Lai and Tony Lin in 1976 in Taichung City on Taiwan’s west coast, as a hot-forge factory making budget hand tools for the DIY market. By 1984, however, this market was flooded with low-cost merchandise of dubious quality, so Lai and Lin took a bold decision to go upmarket, making professional-quality tools to compete with the world’s top brands.
Now every tool they make not only meets the DIN (German) and ANSI (United States) quality standards for professional-quality hand tools, it exceeds them by a factor of 30 to 50 percent.
The majority of Killarney’s featured sponsors are in the top tier of their respective fields, and King Tony is one of this elite group – one that is also very appropriate to motorsport!
King Tony South Africa we salute you and wish you luck on your future endeavors!
