Snap-on spends $100 million to acquire Diesel Laptops

Snap-on Incorporated, a manufacturer and marketer of tools, equipment, diagnostics, repair information, and systems solutions
for professional users performing critical tasks, Wednesday announced that it acquired Diesel Laptops, LLC for approximately $100 million in cash.

Based in Irmo, South Carolina, Diesel Laptops specializes in diagnostics, repair information, and digital solutions for commercial trucks and off-highway vehicles serving heavy-duty repair shops, fleets, and other equipment customers such as those in mining, agriculture, and infrastructure.

The acquisition expands Snap-on’s capabilities in these growing markets and further strengthens the corporation’s library of proprietary experienced-based data, as well as its product offerings to support the diagnosis and repair of increasingly complex vehicles and equipment.

Diesel Laptops will be part of the company’s Repair Systems & Information Group.

Tyler Robertson founded Diesel Laptops in his garage in 2012, and the company grew and expanded from there.
