IRWIN brand and product communication will be transitioning throughout 2010. Communication with both the old and new look/logo will reside in the marketplace, together, for an undetermined amount of time. However, please begin to distribute updated literature and premiums and apparel (with the new IRWIN Tools logo), as they become available. Links to EPM Online (literature), HDS Marketing (premiums & apparel) and Lazer Inc. (image database) are provided for your convenience.

PREMIUMS AND APPAREL:

The IRWIN premiums and apparel store has been refreshed with many new items, and all have the new IRWIN Tools logo. Custom orders with the new logo are also available through this site, with a minimum order quantity.
