Invented by Andrew Jackson Bradley, it was developed to speed up the laborious process of manually marking freight along the Mississippi River. In 2001, Diagraph joined the ITW Group of Companies. ITW (Illinois Tool Works Inc.) employs about 46,000 people in its decentralized business units in more than 55 countries, and generated sales of US$15.6 billion in 2022. Founded in 1912, the secret of the Group’s success throughout its more than 100-year history has always been to offer products with high added value to its key customers around the world, thanks to the high technical skills of its employees. Another factor was the worldwide expansion of business, also through acquisitions, which made it possible to round off the ITW product range in a targeted manner.
