The company is an industry leading manufacturer and marketer of heavy-duty, portable electric power tools, accessories and hand tools for trade professionals. It has a long history with motorcycle racing and has supported teams in World Superbike, British Superbike and the road racing circuit.
Welcoming the new partnership Rob Callister, the Isle of Man Government representative responsible for Tourism and Motorsport said: “We are delighted to add such a prestigious company to our portfolio of official sponsors and we look forward to a close working partnership with Milwaukee.
