Two Pottstown businesses have joined forces in an alliance both hope will lead to expansion of their businesses.

Not only has Palladino Metal Fabrication become a new supplier for Pro Tool Industries, but the two businesses are now leasing space in the same building at 337 West High St., writes Donna Rovins in The Mercury.

Pro Tool Industries has been in Pottstown since 2001, and is the maker of the Woodman’s Pal — a machete that has uses in forestry, agriculture and horticulture. The blade can cut branches and wood up to 1 inch in diameter, while its sickle hook can cut through vines, briars and unwanted growth, according to information on the company’s website.

“We use all American-made products in our manufacturing. We sell online, on Amazon, and we have a network of dealers we sell to,” said Joelle Gassen, operations manager for Pro Tool, which has a history that dates back to the 1940s.

Palladino Metal Fabrication has been in the Pottstown area since its founding in 1936. A full-service custom metal fabrication shop, Palladino supplies products across the country, according to owner Harvey Heimbach, who acquired the company in July.

“Our biggest aspect is we make oven panels — for curing ovens and powder coating. Our second biggest is we fabricate our own motorcycle ramps for the back of vehicles, which we design here and fabricate here,” he said.

Palladino is now fabricating and supplying the blades for Pro Tool’s Woodman’s Pal.
