They are currently doing business as Strong Hand Tools located at 1016 W . Harris Rd . in South Arlington . Strong Hand made a strategic decision to establish its own distribution center hub in Arlington and move away from 3PL partnerships in California .

The Strong Hand vision extends beyond distribution here in Arlington . Their business goal and aspiration are to leverage the immense potential their new location offers by gradually transitioning more production from California to Arlington , Texas . While they are in the early stages of this initiative , it underscores their commitment to delivering products that are not only of the highest quality , but also that reflect dedication to the local community .
For 40 years the company has been able to communicate with welders and craftsmen to develop innovative , quick acting clamping tools that allow their customers to create proper setups as the foundation for safe and efficient work in welding , assembly , and repair applications . From inside of their operations , the company has successfully re-engineered traditional tools for improved performance in clamping and fixturing and is looking to bring that innovation here to the Arlington community .
To support their growing operations and ambitious expansion plans , they are actively working on expanding the local workforce by an impressive 50 % over the next two years . “ We are committed to fostering local talent , creating job opportunities , and strengthening our company ’ s position as a key contributor to the community ,” says Mr .

Texas voters have taken a significant step towards enhancing innovative economic activity with the recent passage of Proposition 10 . This voter-approved decision authorizes the legislature to exempt biomedical companies from ad valorem taxation on essential equipment and inventory , including medical devices , pharmaceuticals , and personal protective equipment .
Proposition 10 strategically positions the north Texas region as an attractive destination for biomedical firms . By alleviating the tax burden on essential medical equipment , the state is set to witness an influx of these critical businesses .
The passage of Proposition 10 serves as an incentive for biomedical companies to grow or relocate in Texas- an opportunity that can be paired with the City of Arlington ’ s unique incentives . The potential growth would bring job creation , innovation in healthcare solutions , and a stronger medical supply chain .
