Vertical Integration. What is it and what does it have to do with reciprocating saw blades?
Ver·ti·cal In·te·gra·tion
ˈvərdəkəl ˌin(t)əˈɡrāSHən/
noun: vertical integration
The combination in one company of two or more stages of production normally operated by separate companies.
Diablo Tools is a vertically integrated company which basically means they own the companies that source and manufacture their products. This is important for several reasons.
Quality
First and foremost, being vertically integrated allows Diablo to control the quality at each step of manufacturing process. Being able to design and monitor the quality processes allows the company to put out the highest quality products possible.
Innovation
This company structure also allows Diablo to drive innovation with new product designs and ultimately get those to market as quickly as possible.
Variety
This is where Diablo’s newest line up of reciprocating saw blades come in. While many other blade manufacturers are introducing more carbide-tipped blades, Diablo has beat them to market while simultaneously offering the most comprehensive variety.
Diablo has made a concerted effort to offer carbide tipped blades for nearly every possible application. And let me tell you, the blades are impressive.
