Vernon Hills, IL, United States

When 20-year-old Danish blacksmith Vilhelm Petersen sailed into Boston Harbor, little did he know that his journey would lead to the establishment of American Tool Companies, Inc. In 1902, "Bill" Petersen settled in Minden, Nebraska, where he worked for a fellow Danish blacksmith, keeping horses shod, plow shares sharpened and wagons repaired. Bill Petersen was an inventor at heart. With the introduction of the automobile and farm tractor, blacksmithing was on the decline. During the long Nebraska winters, Petersen experimented with his ideas. In 1921, he invented and patented a unique wrench with a "vise-like" grip. By 1924, Petersen had refined his invention by adding a locking lever. He patented the enhanced tool and gave it an innovative name that would become world famous: VISE-GRIP® locking pliers. He registered the distinctive clasped hands logo, a symbol that today represents the most recognized hand tool brand in the world. American Tool Companies, Inc., led by Allen Petersen, the founder’s grandson, has evolved into a leading global manufacturer and marketer of hand tools, cutting tools and power tool accessories. The company has more than 4,400 employees and manufacturing facilities throughout North America, Europe, Brazil, and the Pacific Rim. Today, its product lines include VISE-GRIP locking pliers, clamps and wrenches, IRWIN® wood boring and cutting tools, QUICK-GRIP® clamping products, RECORD® hand tools, MARPLES® woodworking tools, JACK® hand saws, POWERPRESS® pipe clamps, TURBOMAX® drill bits, PROSNIP® snips, MARATHON® and SPRINT® saw blades, UNIBIT® step drills, HANSON® taps, dies and drills, CHESCO® hex tools, SPEEDBOR® wood boring bits, and STRAIT-LINE® marking tools. Quite a dramatic change from the day a young Danish immigrant traveled to America and established his place in history.

Welcome to SKULD Assuranceforeningen Skuld provides Protection & Indemnity (P&I) insurance to shipowners and charterers all over the world. Its purpose is to "offer mutual insurance against third-party liabilities and losses incurred in direct connection with the operation of the entered vessels." The Club also offers Freight, Demurrage and Defence (FDD) cover to its members. Established in 1897 in Oslo, Norway, some 50 % of the tonnage entered in the Association is still Scandinavian-controlled, reflecting the club’s traditional balance between Scandinavian and non-Scandinavian business. Its other important markets are most Western European countries, Russia, Singapore, China incl. Hong Kong and USA. With its established and strong position in "mature" markets such as Norway and Denmark, the largest growth potential is currently in Greece and Asia. In addition to its head office in Oslo, Skuld has offices in Copenhagen, Bergen, Piraeus and Hong Kong. World-wide, the organisation has a staff of some 135 members, all employed directly by the Association. The Club can also draw on an extensive network of correspondents - such as the New York-based Anchor Marine, established in 1998 as an exclusive correspondent for Skuld, which assists the Club in the large number of US-related matters. As a mutual association, the Club is owned and controlled directly by its members. The President & CEO reports to the Board of Directors. The Rules of the Association specifies the division of powers between the President & CEO, the Board of Directors, the Committee and the Annual General Meeting. In 2000, Skuld was reorganised through the establishment of a total of nine syndicates, each with an overall responsibility for one or more geographical markets. A separate energy syndicate, based in Oslo and in charge of global operations in the energy field, was also established. Skuld is one of thirteen members of the International Group of P&I Clubs which work closely together in reinsurance and other matters of common interest. In August 2001, Skuld entered into a strategic partnership with Royal & SunAlliance which i.a. has an extensive, world-wide portfolio in Hull & Machinery insurance. Initially, the two partners will offer a joint one policy fixed premium cover for vessels up to 3000 GT, and seek to co-ordinate the activities of their technical departments. Other areas of co-operation are likely to follow suit.
